Professional Interpreting at a Distance
The growing digitalisation of events and the need for flexibility have made remote interpreting an increasingly used solution. It makes it possible to guarantee multilingual communication even when interpreters cannot be present on site.
- What it is: simultaneous interpreting carried out remotely.
- Who it's for: conferences, hybrid events, international meetings.
- Key benefits: flexibility, access to global talent, reduced logistics.
- When it makes sense: events with no conditions for booths or physical presence.
What does the service involve?
Remote interpreting (VRI) consists of carrying out simultaneous interpreting at a distance, with professional interpreters working remotely to the ISO 23155 standard. Participants receive the interpreted audio through devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets or radio-frequency systems, ensuring a seamless experience.

- Hybrid or digital events.
- International conferences.
- Global corporate meetings.
- Events with no technical conditions for booths.
How it works
