Remote Simultaneous Interpreting or RSI
Waltraud Hofer Remote Simultaneous Interpreting
For multilingual online and hybrid meeting events with cloud-based remote simultaneous interpretation platforms, interpreters are not present at the event venue, but they work from a different location (an office or a hub).
There are several platforms that can be used for online events and webinars as well as regular onsite conferences with interpreters connecting remotely from their homes or specially equipped studios.
Given the recent pandemic, remote simultaneous interpreting has become a stopgap and can facilitate a successful communication between people who speak different languages.
As remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) enables events to be hosted online, there’s no need for interpreters to be on-site and attendees can essentially participate digitally.
