Four modes

## Which interpreting mode should you choose?

The right choice depends on where the conversation takes place, how many people 
take part and how urgent it is. If in doubt, call us and we will advise you.

 2.  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
     
 6.  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.

 10. 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.
