Thanks to our extensive experience in interpretation for both online and offline events, we can guarantee that you will be speaking the same language as your partners. We meticulously choose specialists for your event, considering individual preferences, the event’s theme, and the cultural peculiarities of the meeting’s participants.

Simultaneous interpretation is the most challenging form of interpretation. It involves translating during the speaker’s speech with a minimal delay of a few seconds. If the event is planned to be online, we can help reduce the cost of special equipment for simultaneous interpretation through our cloud-based simultaneous interpretation platform, SpeakUs. In this case, interpreters can work remotely, significantly broadening the pool of available candidates and enabling high-quality online translation for any number of participants without the need for additional equipment. All that is required for the speaker, interpreters, and listeners is a laptop or phone with the SpeakUs app and individual headphones (with a microphone for the speaker and interpreters).
