Simultaneous Interpreting

Simultaneous interpretation is most frequently used for conferences or meetings.   This is a live interpretive technique in which a professional interpreter interprets it in real time into another language, with only a few second of time-lag between the speaker and the interpreter.  Benefit of using this technique is that you not only receive the reaction of the audience almost on-time but also you can save a lot of time compared to consecutive interpretation since simultaneous interpretation takes a minimum time-lag.
