Professional Consecutive and Simultaneous Interpretation

Interpreting

It is important to remember that language interpreting is a discipline different from translation and requires a linguist with good delivery, good diction, and the ability to quickly articulate the same word or sentence in a different language. STI only works with discreet interpreters with proven track records, and we carefully distinguish between escort, consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, which operate on completely different levels.

Quality interpreting services require close cooperation between STI and our client prior to the beginning of the assignment. We work with you to determine how many interpreters, what kind of interpreters and what kind of interpreting equipment you need. We also insist that you provide us and the interpreters with as much background material as possible and as much information about how the assignment will progress as possible, to ensure that the interpreters are best prepared. Unless you would like interpreters to accompany your delegation on travel, we will make every effort to find qualified interpreters local to your assignments, be it anywhere in the U.S. or the world, to keep costs down.

Telephone Interpreting

When you have an urgent need to place a call to a foreign counterpart or conduct a teleconference with them, we can set you up with a qualified interpreter who can provide his/her services over the phone, saving you time and money (at least 24 hours notice, please).

Escort Interpreting

If you are expecting foreign visitors or you will be traveling outside the country, we can provide the services of a qualified interpreter to accompany you or your visitors on both personal and professional excursions (at least one week's notice, please).

Consecutive Interpreting

For smaller business meetings, training sessions or legal proceedings, we can furnish professional interpreters to relay information back and forth between speakers of different languages (at least one week's notice, please).

Simultaneous Interpreting

Also called Conference Interpreting. For conferences and special presentation situations, we can provide teams of highly qualified interpreters together with the appropriate interpreting equipment to help make your event proceed smoothly (at least two weeks' notice, please).

Voice-Over/Narration

We can provide experienced talent to work with the studio of your choice to dub your existing English language audiotape, videotape or CD-ROM in any language you choose. We can also, of course, provide correctly timed translations of your scripts (at least two weeks' notice, please).
