Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI)

Conference-grade simultaneous interpreting runs over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and dedicated RSI platforms. Listeners join a language channel from any device, which makes it the default format for virtual and hybrid events.

Cloud-Based Simultaneous, Conference-Grade

Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) is the cloud-based variant of conference simultaneous interpreting, built for international virtual events, hybrid conferences, and multi-region investor calls. Interpreters work from a professional hub or a sound-isolated home studio, listen to the speaker over a low-latency platform, and render the output into the target language in real time. Attendees select their language on the platform and hear the interpreter through their own device. The same AIIC-grade discipline that runs an on-site UN session, delivered without booths, travel, or venue equipment.

RSI is now the default for international virtual events, hybrid conferences with remote participants, multi-region investor calls, and any setting where the on-site cost-benefit no longer holds. Most major platforms (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex) now have native interpretation channels, and dedicated RSI platforms (Interprefy, KUDO, Voiceboxer) add features such as relay-language management, language-balance tools, and persistent booth pairs across a conference program. We work with all of them and recommend the right platform per assignment. Where a webinar or hearing produces records, professional certified translations can be ordered alongside the booking.

Why Clients Choose Our Remote Simultaneous Interpreting

  • Interpreter adjusting a knob on a small hardware console next to his laptop, headset on

    Platform-Agnostic

    Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, Interprefy, KUDO, Voiceboxer, and dedicated client platforms. Interpreters tested on the platform you intend to use, not improvising on the day.

  • Remote interpreter giving a hand signal to hand over to her partner on a video call

    Two Interpreters per Language Pair

    Sessions over 30 minutes staffed with two interpreters per language pair, same AIIC convention as on-site simultaneous. RSI does not reduce the cognitive load; it changes the venue.

  • Interpreter speaking into a microphone in a small sound-treated home studio

    Sound-Isolated Studios

    Interpreters work from professional studios with calibrated mic, monitor headphones, and low-latency platform connectivity. Not a kitchen table on a laptop microphone.

  • Hybrid conference session with a speaker at a lectern and remote participants on a screen

    Hybrid-Ready

    Same interpreters can serve on-site cabins AND a remote feed for distributed participants when the platform supports it. One team, two audiences, one budget conversation.

Where Remote Simultaneous Interpreting Fits

  • Large international virtual conferences
  • Hybrid events combining on-site delegates with remote audiences
  • Multi-region AGMs and investor calls
  • Cross-time-zone training and onboarding sessions
  • Press conferences with international media joining remotely
  • Multilateral working groups with distributed delegations

Remote Simultaneous Interpreting: Common Questions

Which platforms do you support for RSI?

Zoom Interpretation, Microsoft Teams interpreter mode, Webex Events, plus dedicated RSI platforms including Interprefy, KUDO, and Voiceboxer. We can also work on client-specific or in-house platforms after a pre-event test.

What is the difference between RSI and platform 'auto-translation' features?

Platform auto-translation generates a machine-translated caption or voice in real time. RSI is human interpretation by a qualified professional, delivered live. Machine translation is improving but is not equivalent to a trained simultaneous interpreter for any setting where accuracy, nuance, or compliance matters.

Do we still need two interpreters per language pair for RSI?

Yes. The cognitive load that drives the two-interpreter standard for on-site simultaneous applies equally to RSI. Sessions over 30 minutes are staffed with two interpreters per pair, who alternate every 20 to 30 minutes from their studios.
