Remote simultaneous interpretation

Remote simultaneous interpretation for conferences and events

Interpreters work from a booth in the browser, wherever they are. Your guests listen on their own phones by QR code, in the hall and online, without receivers

What remote simultaneous interpretation is

In remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) the interpreters are not in a booth at the venue. They work from their own place, and the audience hears them live, in parallel with the speaker. It removes the booths, receivers and travel of a classic setup and lets you bring interpreters for any language pair from any city.

SINHRON is an RSI platform built around the interpreter's booth. It covers the whole chain: planning the event and assigning interpreters, the booth itself, listening on phones and per-language recordings afterwards.

How it works

Three steps from plan to live interpretation

  1. 1

    Plan the event

    Create sessions and rooms, choose the languages. Interpreters are matched by language pair, workload and subject, and you see which pairs are short before the event starts

  2. 2

    Interpreters join from anywhere

    The booth opens in the browser. Interpreters hand over the microphone in one click, listen to the speaker or their partner, work through a pivot language and talk on a private intercom

  3. 3

    Listeners scan a QR code

    Guests in the hall and online open the link on their own phones and pick a language. If an interpreter steps off air, they hear the original instead of silence

Questions about remote simultaneous interpretation

What is remote simultaneous interpretation?

Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) means interpreters work from a location of their own while the audience listens to them live, in parallel with the speaker. With SINHRON interpreters use a booth that opens in the browser, and listeners hear the interpretation on their phones.

Do listeners need an app or receivers?

No. Listeners scan a QR code or open a link in the browser on their own phone and choose a language. There is nothing to install and no receivers to hand out or collect.

Can people in the hall and online hear the same interpretation?

Yes. Guests in the hall and remote participants listen to the same language channels, so you do not need a second setup for the online part of a hybrid event.

What do interpreters need to work remotely?

A laptop, a headset with a microphone, a stable internet connection, preferably wired, and a quiet room. The booth opens from a link in the browser.

What happens if an interpreter loses connection?

Listeners automatically hear the original instead of silence, and the interpreter sees a clear reconnection screen. The partner can take over the microphone at any time.

Can you provide the interpreters?

Yes. We can book interpreters for your languages and subject from our interpreter network, or your own interpreters can work in SINHRON.

How is the price calculated?

Per event day, without a subscription. The price depends on the number of languages, days and participants, and whether you need our interpreters. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
