Whispered interpreting
What exactly is whispered interpreting? And what is it suitable for? Here you can find out everything you need to know about the work of whispered interpreters.
Whispered interpreting
In whispered interpreting (Fr. Chuchotage) the interpreter whispers the translation into your ear. This usually involves simultaneous interpreting. lingoking provides you with suitable interpreters for almost all languages worldwide.
Advantages:
No interpreting booth required
Flexible in terms of location
Inexpensive
Disadvantages:
No acoustic shielding
Only suitable for a limited number of people
More intensive working method for the interpreter
Technical variants
With a tour guide system (for approx. 3 to 15 participants):
For events with a small number of participants and/or event conditions that do not allow the use of an interpreting booth — e.g. outdoors — simultaneous interpreting with a tour guide system (PFA) is recommended. Here, the interpreter stands in the immediate vicinity of the speaker and interprets what is said in a low tone into the microphone of the tour guide system, the signal of which is relayed to the headphones of the listeners by means of mobile transmission technology. This type of interpreting is ideal, for example, for smaller group tours of factories and the like.
Without tour guide system (for max. 2 to 3 participants):
Without a tour guide system, whispered interpreting is suitable for a maximum of 2 to 3 participants for whom simultaneous interpreting is provided. It should be noted that the audience must be seated or standing in close proximity to the interpreters.
AREAS OF USE
You can choose from the following areas of use
Whispered interpreter for short events
Whispered interpreter for conferences
Whispered interpreter for court proceedings
Whispered interpreter for appointments with the police/office/hospital
Whispered interpreter for trainings
Whispered interpreter for meetings and workshops
Area of use: Short events
For short events, usually with fewer participants, the expense of an interpreting booth is not very worthwhile. With a whispering interpreter, you can be sure that all your participants can take part in your event and understand everything.
Area of use: Conferences
For smaller conferences, whispered interpreting is a cheaper alternative to simultaneous/conference interpreting with an interpreting booth.
Area of use: Court proceedings
Especially in a legal context, it is important that clients and persons involved in court understand everything. Whispered interpreting is very suitable for this, as there are fewer interruptions in the courtroom. The interpreter whispers the content quietly and simultaneously into the person's ear.
Area of use: Appointments
Whether for your appointment with the police, in hospital or at a public authority: With a whispering interpreter you are on the safe side and can understand and communicate without any problems.
Areas of use: Trainings
Training sessions are often held for only 1-2 employees. Whispered interpreting is perfect for this, as no elaborate technology is required.
Area of use: Meetings & Workshops
All participants and the interpreter(s) are present. With a maximum of 3 participants, the interpreter sits next to the participants and whispers the translation simultaneously into their ears. If there are more than 3 participants, a personal guidance system is recommended. The interpreter speaks quietly into a microphone so that the participants can listen to the translation via headphones.
