How It Works

Interpretation is the real-time verbal conversion of spoken language from one language to another, allowing for immediate understanding during live conversations, meetings, or events. Unlike translation, which deals with the written word, interpretation focuses on delivering your message clearly and instantly in the moment, ensuring it's accurately conveyed and understood without delay. At Summit Echo Interpretations, we specialize in community interpretation, providing fluid English/Spanish solutions to ensure every voice is heard in various public and private settings. It's about enabling spontaneous, dynamic communication that connects diverse voices.

We offer two primary modes of interpretation, each designed to suit various settings and communication needs within community and business environments:

• Simultaneous Interpretation: This mode allows for real-time communication, where the interpreter speaks almost simultaneously with the speaker, ensuring a continuous and uninterrupted flow. For in-person simultaneous interpretation, instead of traditional booths, we utilize specialized, small radio-like devices. These devices enable seamless, continuous audio transmission directly to your audience, ensuring everyone hears the message clearly and without delay. This method is ideal for conferences, presentations, workshops, and any event where continuous, uninterrupted communication is essential for multiple participants, even if only one person requires interpretation.

• Consecutive Interpretation: This involves a turn-taking approach. The speaker pauses after completing a thought or a few sentences, allowing the interpreter to convey the message in the target language. This style is highly effective for smaller group discussions, interviews, one-on-one meetings, or assisting facilitators during community outreach and group sessions where direct engagement and precise, segment-by-segment understanding are key.

Yes, absolutely! In today's interconnected world, interpretation services are no longer limited to in-person settings.Remote interpretation allows us to provide professional interpretation services virtually, connecting all participants through online platforms like Zoom. This convenient solution ensures your message is delivered clearly and accurately, regardless of location. Remote interpretation expands accessibility, makes scheduling more flexible, and can even help reduce travel costs, ensuring that every voice can be heard from anywhere with an internet connection.
