REMOTE INTERPRETATION, A NEW TECHNOLOGY

In this present age in which we are living distance is not an excuse to provide a service. There were times when you used to hire interpreters who make sure their presence in physical form and provide you with interpretation services but with the advancement of technology now it is possible to interpret audio and video even by sitting hundred miles away which is termed as remote interpretation.

EFFICIENCY OF REMOTE INTERPRETATION DURING LARGE SCALE EVENT:

Remote interpretation is efficient during a large scale event. It is very vital that when a participant speaks every other participant in the event must hear the same exact thing irrespective of which language they speak. For such purpose personal devices like laptop, tablets and mobile are used , if an interpreting software is used it help to convey message to multilingual people without the presence of bunch of interpreters.

REMOTE INTERPRETATION BY USE OF SOFTWARE IN CONFERENCES :

Remote interpretation is also used during a conference or an event which is watched or heard in many different countries or heard, and participants have different language. Instead of making sure the presence of the interpreters there the equipment which is to be used by interpreters, will be replaced by software which will automatically assess the audio and will interpret it into the required languages. It has certain advantages: • It will save the cost of flying the valuable interpreters to the venue. • It will help to analyze that how many people listened or watched the conference or any event, and in which corner of the world.

SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION AND REMOTE INTERPRETATION TECHNOLGY:

Simultaneous interpretation is type of interpretation in which the interpreters is to convert what is said at that very moment. This type of interpretation is done when there is no possibility of pause in the conversation. It is opposite of consecutive interpretation when interpretation is carried out with intervals. Simultaneous interpretation can also be done by using simultaneous interpretation apps/software which helps to interpret simultaneously. Once such software is used which is programmed to interpret into different languages this also falls in category of remote simultaneous interpreting.
