Simultaneous interpretation equipment in Sherbrooke

Translation and Interpretation Systems and equipment in Sherbrooke

In this article, find all the information you need to know about simultaneous interpretation equipment for users in Sherbrooke.

What is simultaneous interpretation?

Being a simultaneous interpreter requires a high level of expertise. The interpreter must be able to translate the speaker’s words while they are still speaking, which requires excellent concentration, stress management, and clear communication skills in their native language.

In addition to language proficiency, interpreters must also possess extensive knowledge of various linguistic and cultural fields. They often work in soundproof booths, interpreting for high-profile figures and representatives.

Alternatively, consecutive interpreting involves the speaker pausing frequently to allow the interpreter to translate the message into the target language.

Simultaneous interpretation is preferred for large conferences and presentations, as the interpreter can translate in real-time while the speaker is delivering the message. This method is commonly used in many countries, including Sherbrooke.

 

 

Simultaneous interpreting equipment today:

The creators of the system ensured that the equipment aligned with the principles of the work. Adequate equipment is necessary for interpreters to properly translate languages.

As technology has evolved, translation devices have been refined through the efforts of dedicated professionals. The goal is to improve communication devices, allowing interpreters and speakers to convey their messages without confusion.

To ensure that equipment fits correctly, it is best to hire specialized companies with knowledge of the interpreting profession. They understand how the system operates and can provide optimal equipment placement.

If issues arise, only technicians who have mastered the interpretation system should intervene for repairs. Simple audio-visual caterers lack the necessary specialization for this task.

What configurations of simultaneous interpretation equipment exist?

Permanent installations

Fixed installations for interpretation are set up in the main conference room and remain in place even if interpretation is not required. One benefit of this configuration is that technicians do not need to dismantle and reassemble the equipment.

However, this setup is not mobile, and interpreters are unable to move from the interpreting booths, which are usually not very spacious. Despite this, the booths have amenities such as ventilation, lighting, and windows, and are designed to accommodate two or three people. For large conferences, multiple interpreters are typically required.

Portable/mobile configurations

This is the opposite of permanent integration. With the portable configuration, the interpreter can move around. It consists of portable interpreter kits: when a meeting is scheduled, these materials are prepared and set up before the event begins. If permanent integration does not require pre-installation, the portable configuration must be ready in advance. The advantage of this structure is that it is mobile, so the interpreters also find it comfortable.

Whispering equipment

The interpreter can go from one place to another thanks to the mobility of the equipment. Whispering equipment is portable, i.e. it is mobile. The disadvantage is that it is not suitable for all types of conferences, for example formal conferences. The equipment consists of a transmitter and an interpreter microphone.

What equipment is inside the simultaneous interpretation booth?

Simultaneous interpretation console

The headset and the conference microphone are the main components of an interpreting console. The listeners and interpreters are equipped with headsets and microphones to conduct the exchange. A console differs from a booth in its mobility: it is carried in a tour guide trunk. They are receivers of simultaneous interpretation equipment system that interpreters use when there is no booth. But then again, since there are several interpreters and listeners, there must be several pieces of equipment that work well.

Interpreting with headphones

Headsets are more than useful for the interpretation process: the interpreters can listen to the speech. Some headsets are mobile and are necessary when interpreters are on the move. The translation cannot be done if the listener’s words are not heard. In this case, the performance of the headset is essential: the devices always go through a check before being used. The best headsets are made by experts in the field, it is recommended to choose the technicians carefully.

Conference microphones

Interpreter microphones are available in three types:

The fixed microphone is a headset with an attached microphone. This type is widely used due to its flexibility. The microphone remains close to the interpreter’s mouth, even if they move their head.

Console microphones are situated at the top of the console.

Table microphones are stationary and fixed to the surface of a table. They cannot be moved.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Alex Breder

Best system we’ve used so far: ideal for plant/site visits, small to large-size meetings, requiring simultaneous interpretation. Battery life is astounding; never ever have we seen anything longer lasting. As for sound, we’re amazed at the clear quality! The idea of receivers/transmitter only turning on with headphone plug inserted is great! We from Global View, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, do recommend DSPTech system doubtlessly! We’d been used to top-notch systems, but DSPTech has surely surpassed them all!

Fadi Joubran

Best system ever made!
Simple, straightforward, amazing battery life and most importantly, the sound quality is unmatched. Thank you.

Liz Essary

DSPTECH has been a huge help to me as a freelance conference and court interpreter! Vito helped me not only decide on a kit that works for me, but also helped me understand how to set up and maintain the equipment. The receivers are especially high quality and easy to use for attendees. DSPTECH offers a special combination of high quality equipment, and excellent customer service!

David Pett

DSPTECH has outfitted our church with a great FM system. Super quality anywhere in the auditorium (seats 350). Customer service was great! Call backs and a demo of the product in the evening so our volunteer interpreter could be present. Very accommodating. No hesitation in recommending this company.

Tommy Palliser

It is hard to find quality products, but also quality service these days. DSPTECH really goes above and beyond, providing good quality products and also good quality after care service and also assists in setting up your equipment. I really and honestly recommend DSPTECH for all your translation equipment and related technical needs. Thank you DSPTECH!

Anne Christensen

Customer service is second to none! The entire purchasing experience smooth and fast, and the unit was personally delivered to my office within 2 days. When I had questions about the system (while in Amman, Jordan) I received detailed assistance in writing and via phone, as well as the option to have a local service technician join me for free to provide assistance at my event. Would certainly recommend to anyone looking for hands on support and great quality!

Nous avons une entreprise d’interprétation simultanée et nous demandons à différents fournisseurs de nous louer de l’équipement SI fiable. Monsieur Ricci nous a contactés et nous étions ravis par ses excellents conseils et sa connaissance de notre industrie assez spécialisée. Quand nous avons appris qu’il est aussi extrêmement apprécié par certaines des meilleures entreprises d’interprétation simultanée au Québec et Canada comme LMB, qui est l’un de nos clients les plus importants, nous étions heureux de faire affaire avec lui. C’est aussi rassurant de voir qu’il y a enfin un fabricant canadien pour soutenir l’industrie d’interprétation simultanée,

Simon Brault

I was looking for high quality receivers and simultaneous interpretation equipment for our company as we have a growing demand to serve our customers and wanted to do it the right way. We tested several models and including some low cost products that just didn’t do the job right until we found Dsptech. They have come out with a high quality and durable receiver specially designed for the translation industry. The sound quality is great and I couldn’t see for any reason spending 10 times the price on an infrared system. Their FM solution is solid, reliable, and sounds great. It’s also very simple to use for event participants. Everyone’s been happy and we couldn’t have asked for more. We also had the privilege to test out their new CSI system to track all receivers going out and coming back. Never seen anything like it before on the market before, another great product. Tracks all receivers with names and detailed information of exactly who took the receiver and didn’t bring them back. Also reduced our signing out and usual return times by about 70%. Clients were able to take the receivers home with them and return back at the end of our 3 day conference. With an extremely fast return system, we wrapped up a lot sooner than at our other events. Client’s loved it and we saved a lot of headaches and we experienced a huge saving of time. We had all 15 lost receivers returned the following week because we had detailed records of the users that took them out. Incredible ! Highly recommend Vito and his team to work with in the future !

The Simultaneous interpretation receivers are the simplest to use for our clients and interpreters. They are reliable and provide crystal clear sound quality. Fast on time delivery and personalized professional expert service, very portable light- weight equipment. I strongly recommend the portable equipment for Court interpretation and small meetings.
