Simultaneous Interpreting and RSI

Simultaneous and Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI)

Making simultaneous interpreting available anytime and anywhere

For decades, simultaneous interpreting has been realised conventionally and through the physical presence of interpreters, booths and simultaneous interpreting technology at the venue of the event. Modern simultaneous interpreting systems offer excellent audio quality based on modern digital technology and are ideally suited for international conferences where different languages are spoken, as well as for hybrid and digital events. In addition to conference systems, there is also the option of using tour guide systems, which can be used on the move and are particularly suitable for smaller audiences.

By using digital technologies, we reduce your expenses for simultaneous interpreting by a significant amount. Interpreters operate from a permanent or temporary RSI hub and do not need to be present at the event location.

RSI offers different possibilities of connection for various event formats. Data security is always of utmost importance to us.

The new dimension of simultaneous interpreting

Our RSI solution is not bound to a specific platform. That means transmission to and from the event takes place using our in-house, highly professional solution with end-to-end control of a dedicated server structure that enables reception via UHF or infrared. Cloud links for personal mobile devices (BYOD) can also be used.
N&M's remote solution can also be integrated into client meeting platforms – for 100% virtual meetings, for example.

Temporary hubs throughout Germany

For digital meetings with remote interconnection of several active participants (≤ 25), we create resource-saving and economic advantages in the short term by setting up temp hubs with connection to cloud-based collaboration or RSI platforms also at other N&M offices, at the client’s premises or at the event location. Cloud collaboration platforms are linked up via the usual, high-quality simultaneous interpreting equipment, including booth, console and support by qualified technicians. This set-up not only ensures optimized audio quality but also the hearing protection so essential for interpreters.

Downloads and further information

Nowadays, innovative formats demand that organisers are able to respond at very short notice to the wishes of attendees and other changes. We will provide you with a solution that is customised to your requirements - whether with technology and interpreters directly on site or remotely from an RSI hub.
