Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) — Precision for regulated industries
Digital transformation is reshaping high-stakes, multilingual professional events across Switzerland and beyond — from legal proceedings and regulatory compliance reviews to medical symposia and financial conferences. When content is sensitive, confidential and technically complex, conventional meeting tools and non-ISO-compliant remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) solutions simply aren’t fit for purpose.
As an established Swiss language services provider for demanding institutions and companies, we combine ISO-compliant interpreting technology (including ISO 24019 and ISO 20108) with the expertise of accredited conference interpreters. For events where absolute linguistic precision, confidentiality and compliance assurance are non-negotiable — with no compromise on quality.
Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI) and hybrid conferences
The international gold standard for virtual and hybrid large-scale events, annual general meetings, regulatory conferences and corporate governance meetings.
For remote simultaneous interpreting to work reliably, certain conditions need to be in place:
- clear acoustics free from background noise,
- adequate preparation time (including advance access to speeches or presentations where available),
- and speakers who use the microphone correctly and consistently.
How it works
Our professional remote simultaneous interpreters work either from state-of-the-art, soundproofed interpreting hubs or securely connected remotely. They deliver presentations and discussions into your target languages in real time, with latency-free, tightly controlled audio and stable live transmission.
Technical infrastructure
We support your event on highly secure, purpose-built RSI platforms designed for regulated sectors (finance, pharma, legal), or we integrate interpreting channels seamlessly into your existing corporate environment — including Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams and dedicated board and governance meeting systems.
Live technical support included
A dedicated technician accompanies your event from preparation through to close, monitoring audio latency, failover routing and end-to-end encryption, and proactively supporting both speakers and participants.
A note on highly interactive formats
Remote simultaneous interpreting is best suited to clearly structured professional events, presentations and discussions with defined speaker roles. In highly interactive formats — where many participants speak frequently, the language direction changes constantly, or spontaneous contributions dominate — RSI can reach its limits. In these situations, a traditional on-site solution or remote consecutive interpreting is often more effective, as it gives interpreters a more direct sense of the conversational dynamic.
Remote consecutive interpreting for boardrooms and negotiations
Ideal for strategic, bilingual meetings in smaller settings — such as board meetings, due diligence negotiations, regulatory audits or confidential executive briefings.
- Process: Accredited specialist interpreters join as virtual participants, relaying what is said with a short delay, delivering the highest level of substantive accuracy and precise terminology coverage for regulated industries.
- Benefit: No proprietary additional software required — fits seamlessly into your existing FADP/GDPR-compliant collaboration tools, without compromising on confidentiality.
