Consecutive Interpretation

ACCURATE COMMUNICATION

Consecutive interpretation is the mode in which the speaker talks in segments and pauses so the interpreter can render their speech into the other language. It does not require booths or complex technical equipment, and helps create an atmosphere of trust, closeness, and measured dialog. It is especially well suited to situations where both message accuracy and the ability to clarify details as you go are important.

  • IDEAL FOR SMALL GROUP MEETINGS OR SESSIONS

    It works very well when there are not very many participants and a more personal setting is preferred. The interpretation follows the natural rhythm of the conversation.

  • ALLOWS FOR MORE NUANCE AND CLARIFICATION

    The interpreter takes notes while the speaker talks and then reproduces the message in detail.

  • LOWER TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

    No booths or audio receivers are needed. This reduces costs and makes logistics simpler.

  • A GOOD OPTION WHEN ONLY A FEW LANGUAGES ARE INVOLVED

    If there are only one or two languages and speeches are not very long, consecutive interpretation is comfortable and efficient.
