SERVICES / SIMULTANEOUS INTERPRETATION
Simultaneous interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation caters for all sorts of meetings. It is particularly recommended for conferences, congresses, events, interviews, political meetings, TV or radio programmes, and so on. In other words, any kind of meeting or event in which participants need to be translated for a numerous audience.
Simultaneous interpretation
Simultaneous interpreting is carried out at the same time as the person is speaking, to and from as many languages as are needed. To this end it is necessary to make use of specific and specialised technical equipment. ASTI offers a comprehensive service providing its own technical equipment and expert professionals. We offer simultaneous interpreting services in all EU languages, with a team of native, specialised and discreet interpreters.

Consecutive interpretation
Consecutive interpreting is more suitable for meetings held in no more than two languages and for a limited number of people. The interpreter translates after the person has spoken, alternating with him/her and taking notes.
As such, no technical equipment is required for consecutive interpreting. However, it is a slower process than simultaneous interpreting. Furthermore, consecutive interpretation calls for high levels of concentration from the interpreter.
But if you’re looking for quality and discretion in your business meetings, don’t hesitate to hire ASTI’s consecutive interpreting services.
WHISPERED INTERPRETATION
This is a variation of consecutive interpretation. In consecutive whispered interpretation, the interpreter whispers the translation of what is being said into the client’s ear.
As a result, this sort of consecutive interpretation is only really recommended for bilateral meetings or those with not many people.
Consecutive whispered interpreting requires an enormous amount of concentration, a high level of accuracy and a certain knowledge of protocol.
