Consecutive interpretation services


Interpreting takes on several forms depending on the context and requirements of the situation. Consecutive interpretation enables the interpreter to perform real-time communication in different languages and involves a process where a person reiterates out loud what the speaker has said in a language requested by the client. It merely is a process where the speaker makes a speech whilst the interpreter records it in a written form and then reproduces it to the client.



The three main actions involved in this form of interpretation are Understand (listen actively) Make structured notes (analyse) and Communicate (reproduce).

Requirements of Consecutive Interpretation Service

Consecutive interpretation service is extremely simple. It does not require any equipment like headphones, microphones, audio consoles or soundproof booths. All that the interpreter need are notepads, pencils. And most often it requires a single person, meaning the interpreter works alone.

The form of interpretation service is applicable for classes, seminars with a limited number of participants, business meetings, etc. The audience is smaller when compared to large conferences that use simultaneous interpretation services.

Skills of a Consecutive Interpreter

The consecutive interpreter must be fluent, experienced, expertise in a particular subject, cultural knowledge, understanding of the nuances of the language, sharp memory, excellent speaking, and keen hearing. Apart from memorization, the consecutive interpreter should be a fast writer, good at note-taking to help them remember the concepts and ideas that the speaker wants to deliver. The way the interpreter takes notes depends on his training and past experiences.

The notes taken are kept very simple and legible, with only the basic information and ensuring they will be easier to read and summarize the message received.

Advantages of Using Consecutive Interpretation

It’s all about speaking different languages to understand one another. The setup is simple and the consecutive interpreter normally stays next to the speaker listening and jotting down the points in simple legible language.

 has its advantages, such as:

  •  The delivery of the interpretation is fluent.

  •  There is no need for any expensive piece of equipment.
  •  The client tends to understand the message better, see and hear the speaker’s tone of voice and body language and can appreciate the translation better.

  Simultaneous interpretation Simultaneous interpretation/translation is an interpretation executed after carefully listening to the words spoken by the speaker in a particular language and then conveying the same across to the targeted audience or individual who is unable to comprehend the language.

When you use specialised video interpreting software on a tablet, laptop, or phone to provide sign language or spoken language interpreting services through a remote (offsite) interpreter, this is known as video remote interpreting. It allows you to participate in a conference or an international call with a multilingual audience without having to leave where you are while also ensuring that al...
