Simultaneous Interpreting

Consecutive interpretation is a method where the interpreter listens to the speaker during segments of speech, takes notes if needed, and then delivers the message in the target language after the speaker pauses. This approach is commonly applied in environments like medical appointments, legal proceedings, and business meetings, making it particularly suitable for situations that require clarity and precision.

 

In this interpreting style, the speaker may say a specific word or phrase and then pause, allowing the interpreter to translate the message the target language for the audience. To maintain accuracy, the interpreter might take notes depending on the length of the message.
