Simultaneous interpretation provides real-time translation without disrupting speaker flow—ideal for live meetings, conferences, virtual events and multilingual presentations.
There are three primary options to add simultaneous interpretation to a meeting or event:
The most common option is to do nothing. While this is obviously the cheapest and most familiar approach in the short term, it fails to address the significant long-run costs when participants are unable to understand the session contents and do not fully engage.
Human interpreters have been used for centuries and are the most common option today. Everyone has watched prominent events like global sessions at the UN Headquarters in NYC where attendees from 100+ countries around the world listen in real-time to a presenter speaking in a language they are not familiar with. Human interpretation is a good option for large, multi-cultural events like this which are planned months in advance and supported by large budgets and teams to coordinate all of the logistics. But, the time and cost of offering human interpretation often makes this option not viable for private companies, industry associations, and local governments.
An emerging option is AI Interpretation, delivered through a translation app powered by artificial intelligence. These solutions use secure, cloud-based infrastructure to provide real-time translation without the need for human interpreters. The Wordly AI simultaneous interpreter provides instant translation via mobile or web — no human interpreter needed. This approach is quickly becoming the preferred choice for corporate events, industry associations, and local government meetings.
