About simultaneous interpreting

Simultaneous interpreting is used for:
- Conferences and workshops

The course of interpreting process
In simultaneous interpreting, there are usually two interpreters in a soundproof booth that provides a view of the speaker.
The interpreters can hear the speaker through their headphones, and they fluently interpret the speech to listeners, who receive the interpretation by wireless transmission to their receivers.
Interpreting equipment
Interpreting equipment is a set of specialised equipment used to provide simultaneous interpreting.
Why are there two interpreters per booth?
Simultaneous interpreting is a psychologically and physically demanding activity that must be performed by two interpreters at the same time.
One of them always interprets; the other one follows the content of the speech as well as the interpretation and is ready to stand in for his colleague in an emergency, or after the usual 15–20 minutes of continuous interpreting.
