This type of interpreting also involves relaying the speaker’s words simultaneously into the target language. The conference interpreter sits beside or behind the client and whispers the translation as the speaker is talking.

This arrangement is more practical for small meetings and venues that cannot accommodate interpreting booths. For larger groups or technical site visits, for example, where the interpreter has to be free to move about, we recommend the use of a mobile tour-guide system (which we can provide on request).
