Simultaneous Interpretation

Simultaneous interpreting is the mode of interpretation where the interpreter listens to the speech and  reformulates the speech into a language his audience understands at the same time (or simultaneously).

This mode of interpretation is commonly used for conferences, by TV news stations, courts, high profile meetings etc…

The audience need to use headphones and receivers to be able to hear the interpretation.  Recently there are serious trials to stream the interpretation through the internet to audience via their smartphones.
