31. Modern technical equipment of translation and interpreting.
Providing simultaneous interpretation services requires the use of specialized
equipment that allows the interpreters to isolate the sound of the presenter from other sounds in the room as well as from their own voices while they are interpreting. This allows them to clearly hear the presenter and to focus, without distraction, on providing an accurate simultaneous interpretation without any need for the presenter to pause. This equipment is normally called simultaneous interpretation equipment, simultaneous translation equipment, or conference interpreting equipment. The website “ Infinity translation services” said that they sell simultaneous interpretation systems including portable, wireless, "tour guide" type transmitters and wireless receivers as well as more complex, stationary interpretation systems. If you are looking for portable interpretation systems they carry portable, "tour guide" type transmitters and receivers. These compact, belt clip transmitters (pictured at left) are well suited for meetings where using a full, stationary interpretation system with booths is either not possible or not appropriate. They are quite powerful and can also be used in situations in which the full interpretation set system is either not feasible or not appropriate. Compact, digital wireless interpretation receivers are the best solution for superior sound quality, flexibility and value. They can be used with portable transmitters or with larger, more powerful, stationary transmitters that are used with our full interpretation systems and interpretation booths. Fully-Enclosed Booth: When providing a full interpretation system we provide our portable, sound proof simultaneous interpretation booths that make sure that the sound of the interpreters’ voices do not escape into the room and become distracting for the meeting attendees as well as ensuring that sounds within the room and from the other interpreters do not distract the interpreters while interpreting in the booth
Tabletop Booth: When there is limited space or other constraints we can provide
a tabletop interpretation booth which is not fully-enclosed but blocks the interpreters in front, above, and on the sides and does a good job of keeping their voices from drifting into the room and distracting attendees who are not listening to the interpretation.
