Definition
What Is Remote Simultaneous Interpretation?
Simultaneous interpretation is defined by the International Standards Organisation as the process of rendering a spoken or signed message into another spoken or signed language instantly, preserving the register and meaning of the source language — sometimes also called simultaneous translation.
Simultaneous interpretation services can be delivered on-site, with interpreters working from physical booths at the event venue, or remotely, with interpreters working from a cloud-based environment instead.
Interprefy specialises in remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) delivered through our enterprise RSI platform, where interpreters can work securely from any location without the need for physical booths or on-site equipment.

Our professional services
Side by side
Remote vs. On-Site Simultaneous Interpretation
Remote simultaneous interpretation and traditional on-site simultaneous interpretation both use professional interpreters to deliver interpretation in real time. The key difference is where the interpreters work and how the interpretation infrastructure is delivered.
| Compare | Remote Simultaneous Interpretation | On-Site Simultaneous Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Where interpreters work | Interpreters work remotely | Interpreters work at the event venue |
| Infrastructure | Uses a digital environment to deliver interpretation | Uses physical interpretation infrastructure at the venue |
| Booths at the venue | Does not require traditional interpretation booths at the venue | Requires appropriate physical booth infrastructure |
| Interpreter logistics | Interpreters can work remotely from different locations | Interpreter logistics are tied more closely to the event location |

Key Features of Our Enterprise Remote Interpretation Platform
01 · For interpreters
Interpreter Friendly
Interprefy provides virtual booths that are designed specifically to enhance the interpreter’s experience. These booths are intuitive and easy to navigate, ensuring that interpreters can focus solely on delivering precise, accurate spoken or signed messages. With a clean interface and robust functionality, the virtual booths facilitate smooth interaction between interpreters and attendees, allowing for seamless communication across languages. This setup is intuitive, stable, and built to enterprise standards, providing interpreters with the tools they need to deliver the best interpretation quality during events.
02 · For organisers
Less Costs and Complexities
One of the standout advantages of using Interprefy is its ability to eliminate travel costs and logistical challenges typically associated with on-site interpretation. With Interprefy’s remote interpretation services, interpreters can work from anywhere in the world, which reduces the need for complex travel arrangements and accommodations. This flexibility makes it easier to organise hybrid, on-site, or entirely online events without compromising on the quality of interpretation. The remote capabilities also allow you to engage interpreters from a global pool of talent, helping you find the best fit for your specific needs.

Human or AI?
Remote Simultaneous Interpretation vs. AI Speech Translation
Human interpretation and AI speech translation can both provide multilingual access, but they use different approaches.
Human
Remote Simultaneous Interpretation
Remote simultaneous interpretation is delivered by professional human interpreters who interpret spoken or signed communication in real time, taking into account language, context, terminology and the nuances of live communication.
AI
AI Speech Translation
AI speech translation uses artificial intelligence to translate spoken content automatically and can provide a scalable option for situations where automated multilingual access is appropriate.
| Compare | Interpretation | AI Speech Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Delivered by | Professional human interpreters | Machine-powered transcription and translation of spoken content |
| Communication | Delivers rich nuance and context | Optimised for clear, direct communication |
| Expertise | Subject-matter expertise | General language coverage |
| Best for | Critical content | Speed and scale |
| Quality & cost | Premium quality, higher cost | Fast, lower cost |
The most suitable approach depends on factors such as the event’s subject matter, language requirements, audience and the level of professional interpretation required.

Answers
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What are simultaneous interpretation services?
Simultaneous interpretation services provide real-time interpretation of a spoken or signed message into another language, delivered by professional interpreters either on-site at the event venue or remotely through a platform such as Interprefy’s.
How does remote simultaneous interpretation work without physical booths?
Interprefy delivers remote interpreting services through a cloud-based interpretation environment rather than a physical booth at the venue. Participants receive the interpreted language through the event’s configured participant access method — onsite screens, web platform or mobile app — so no on-site booth infrastructure is required.
What is the difference between remote and on-site simultaneous interpretation?
Both use professional interpreters delivering interpretation in real time. The difference is where the interpreters work and how the interpretation infrastructure is delivered: remote interpretation uses a digital environment and does not require booths at the venue, while on-site simultaneous interpretation requires interpreters and physical booth infrastructure at the event location.
What technical requirements are needed for remote simultaneous interpretation?
Interpreters should use a performance-ready computer with a stable Ethernet internet connection and professional audio hardware, such as a noise-cancelling USB headset or a high-quality desktop microphone. See the full technical requirements.
Can remote simultaneous interpretation be used for in-person events?
Yes. RSI can form part of in-person, virtual and hybrid event setups, with remote interpreters supporting the event through Interprefy’s configured platform. See our in-person and hybrid events page and our online meetings and events page for format-specific details.
How much does remote simultaneous interpretation cost?
Remote simultaneous interpretation is typically more cost-efficient than traditional on-site setups, since it removes the need for interpreter travel, accommodation and physical booth equipment. The overall price depends on factors such as the number of languages, event duration, and interpreter requirements. Interprefy offers flexible pricing plans designed to suit events of any size or complexity.
