Interpreting
Highly experienced interpreters familiar with the specialized nature of each field facilitate international communication at training seminars, conferences and other events
Dynaword provides simultaneous, whispered and consecutive interpreting services. A dedicated coordinator holds discussions with the client to work out what is required and puts together a proposal based on the most suitable interpreting style.
The coordinators know our interpreters well—their experience, achievements, personalities and areas of expertise. Through discussions with the client, they will ascertain details of the interpreting job, such as the content, nationalities of the participants, and equipment needs, and select the interpreters best positioned to fulfill the requirements.
Prior to the event, the dedicated coordinator will consult on the number of interpreters and the interpreting format and liaise between the client and interpreters to deliver relevant materials and otherwise prepare, thereby reassuring the client and ensuring delivery of an accurate and professional interpreting service.
We can also organize interpreting equipment. Please contact us for details.
Simultaneous Interpreting
The interpreter translates the speaker’s words as they are spoken, making use of simultaneous interpreting equipment.
Whispered Interpreting
The interpreter translates by speaking softly into the ear of the person who requires the service. This method is effective with a small number of people.
Consecutive Interpreting
The interpreter translates the speaker’s words in sections of suitable length. As a result, the event lasts twice as long as normal.
