If I decide to use your interpreting services, about how much is it going to cost? |
 |
The number of interpreters and amount of equipment necessary depends on the amount of time required, the subject matter and the number of participants. It is difficult to give an exact amount. If you have specific information, please contact us for a quote. |

Is it impossible for a single interpreter to perform simultaneous interpreting? |
|
Simultaneous interpreting requires an extraordinary amount of concentration. A single interpreter working alone cannot perform long periods of simultaneous interpreting. Generally, interpreters work in shifts of about 15 minutes. Depending on the subject matter, usually two interpreters can handle a job of up to three hours in duration, while longer jobs require three interpreters. |

|
Can you take care of all of the equipment demands related to a simultaneous interpreting project? |
|
Yes. We provide and remove everything necessary, including the booth that the interpreters use, the receivers used by participants to hear the interpreters' voices, engineers (chief and assistant), recording device and other equipment. |
