Telephone interpreting
You call our number, tell us the language, and we add an interpreter to the conversation. Connection takes about 5 minutes on average, 24/7, nights, weekends and public holidays included. It suits an urgent or short exchange: a call at the hospital, a social services interview, a step with a public office. The interpreter interprets for both sides of the line, in complete confidentiality.

Videoconference interpreting
The interpreter joins your online meeting on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or Webex, with the link you send. They interpret every turn of speech while everyone stays where they are, with no travel. It suits meetings, interviews and appointments where the participants are in different places. For an online event in several languages, remote simultaneous interpreting belongs to conference interpreting.
- Zoom · Microsoft Teams · Google Meet · Webex
- No travel
On-site interpreting
A professional interpreter comes to the place of your appointment, in Paris and across Île-de-France: hospital, social services, court, notary, town hall, company. They interpret every exchange both ways, in consecutive mode, or whisper for one or two people. It is the mode to choose for a long or sensitive conversation, or one with documents to show.
- Paris and the whole Île-de-France region
- Travel included
- Consecutive or whispered
Conference interpreting
For a symposium, a congress, a general meeting or a press conference, our conference interpreters work in booths, in simultaneous mode, on site, remotely or in a hybrid format. They have 10 years’ experience on average and many are AIIC members. We also supply the equipment: booths, consoles and receivers.
