Simultaneous Interpretation (SI)
When interactive interpretation or multi-language services are needed for a large audience, the interpreter listens to the speaker’s speech through headphones in a booth and simultaneously interprets the content to the audience via receivers. This method allows for the efficient handling of large amounts of information in a short time.
- The interpreter conveys the speaker’s words to the audience simultaneously via receivers.
- Using interpretation equipment, up to 16 languages can be interpreted (based on infrared equipment).
- Real-time interpretation saves time and allows the speaker and audience to proceed with SASP.
- Due to the high level of concentration required, interpretation is conducted in teams of two.
- Common applications include international events (50+ participants), academic seminars, and product launches.
[ When do you need SI? ]
International conference (more than 50 audience), seminar, shareholder's meeting, symposium, etc.
Consecutive Interpretation

Escort Interpretation
This type of interpretation involves the interpreter accompanying the client to provide on-site language assistance during business trips, factory visits, inspections, or informal meetings. It focuses on smooth communication in everyday or business contexts, rather than on technical or formal speeches.
This service provides interpretation support for foreign clients visiting Korea for corporate inspections, site tours, or business trips, as well as for Korean clients traveling abroad.Depending on the level of difficulty, it may range from VIP protocol assistance to general sightseeing guidance.Fees vary significantly based on the nature of the event and the client’s requirements.
Whispered Interpretation
This type of interpretation is performed by whispering directly to the foreign participant, providing real-time interpretation when simultaneous interpretation equipment cannot be used due to limitations in the number of participants, environment, or venue conditions.
Whispered interpretation is used in situations where simultaneous interpretation is required for a small group (1–3 people), when the meeting room is too small to install interpretation equipment, or in special settings that require confidentiality, such as court testimonies or contract negotiations.
