Simultaneous
Online with a specialized RSI platform, or onsite with adapted equipment, simultaneous interpretation offers the smoothest delivery with real-time transmission of the message from source to target language.
Working in pairs is the norm

Consecutive
With consecutive interpretation, the speaker must pause to give the interpreter time to deliver the message in the target language. Unless amplification is necessary for listeners to hear, as in a large room or a stadium, no equipment is needed.

Consecutive interpreting is typically used in hearings and depositions, and medical appointments.

Everyday is different in an interpreter’s life, and adaptability is a must!
Remote is always an option – and so are captions!
Videoconferencing is ideal, but over the phone also works when necessary.

Testimonials
Sandra Varas-Godomar,
Program Specialist, Alliance Language Network
“Ms. Nadine is a pleasure to work with. She is a very dedicated French, Portuguese and Spanish Interpreter. She is always on time and never skips a deadline. We would highly recommend her.”
Meredith Tyler da Silva,
Houston, Texas
“My wedding would not have been possible without Nadine. Her expertise, patience, friendliness and professionalism made the union of an American and Brazilian family possible. She perfectly translated our wedding invitation, our entire ceremony and multiple speeches (for both the English and Portuguese speakers). She coached me to pronounce and understand every word in both our vows and speeches. My mother-in-law, Lili, speaks no English. Nadine took her under her wing for the whole weekend and made sure she had the best time and understood everything. Lili became the life of the party because she could communicate with my large American family – all thanks to Nadine. Nadine is not only an incredible interpreter and translator, but she is now a part of our family because of the impact she made on everyone that weekend.”
