How you set up simultaneous interpreting for your event depends on where your event is taking place. You will have different setups for on-site events and remote events.
For on-site events, setting up the venue includes setting up simultaneous interpretation equipment. Interpreters in on-site events sit in soundproof booths. You will need to set up the booths in a location where the interpreters have a direct view of the speakers. Inside the booth, you will set up the monitors, consoles, microphones, and headphones.
Remember to set them up so they don’t interfere with the interpreter’s job. They should be able to adjust them easily if need be. On the attendees’ desks, you will set up the receivers, consoles, and headphones that they use to receive the message in their language.
In addition, a transmission system consisting of infrared or radio-frequency transmitters is sometimes necessary to be set up in the room and connected to the translation booth. The entire infrastructure is connected using interpretation equipment application software.
If you’re using a cloud-based simultaneous interpretation service for your on-site event, setting up the booth will not be required as there are no interpreters on site. You only need to integrate the tool with your event. With Interpretcloud, you can connect with an FM system and have the attendees listen in with FM headphones.
For online events, simultaneous interpreting is entirely cloud-based. You will need to integrate the cloud-based remote simultaneous interpretation platform with your online meeting platform. When using Interpretcloud simultaneous interpreting, you will receive a direct link to connect with interpreters.
You can choose to use it on the web or mobile, where you will listen to the interpreters. Alternatively, your listeners can dial in on the phone and listen to interpreters via their smartphones, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone involved.
