Professional interpretation for the spoken word
On-site, phone, and video interpreters in 200+ languages — available 24/7 across all 50 states. Court-certified, medically qualified, and background-checked professionals.
Consecutive, simultaneous, telephone, escort, or whisper — we match the right interpretation mode and the right linguist to every situation.
Choose the right interpretation mode
Don't let the fancy names discourage you — we're here to help you determine exactly what you need. Each mode serves different situations.
Consecutive
The speaker pauses after each segment for the interpreter to relay the message. Best for depositions, medical appointments, and small meetings.
Simultaneous
Real-time interpretation — the interpreter speaks at the same time as the presenter. Best for conferences, large meetings, and multilingual events.
Whisper
The interpreter whispers the translation to 1–2 listeners seated nearby. Best for boardrooms, courtrooms, and one-on-one settings.
Escort
A full-day interpreter accompanies you through meetings, tours, and events. Best for delegations, factory tours, and multi-stop visits.
How do you want to connect?
The mode is how interpretation is performed. The channel is where — in person, over the phone, or via video.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book an interpreter?
We recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance for on-site interpretation. Same-day requests are available at a rush rate.
Do you provide court-certified interpreters?
Yes. We have court-certified interpreters available in all 50 states for depositions, hearings, trials, and other legal proceedings.
What's the difference between consecutive and simultaneous interpretation?
In consecutive interpretation, the speaker pauses for the interpreter to relay the message. In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter speaks in real-time as the speaker talks, typically using headsets and a soundproof booth.
Can I request a specific interpreter?
Yes. If you've worked with one of our interpreters before and prefer to have them again, just let us know and we'll prioritize their availability.

Yes. Our network covers 200+ languages including less common languages. Contact us with your specific language need and we'll confirm availability.
