Consecutive Interpreting is is particularly effective in settings like business meetings, legal proceedings, or small conferences, where clear communication is vital. The interpreter may take notes during the speech to ensure accuracy and completeness. Because of the pauses, consecutive interpreting allows for more nuanced interpretation, as the interpreter can consider context and tone before translating.

Simultaneous Interpreting is commonly used in large conferences, international meetings, or events with multiple languages. Simultaneous requires a high level of skill and concentration, as interpreters must process and translate information quickly. It enables seamless communication, as there are no pauses in the speaker’s delivery. However, it can be more challenging due to the demand for immediate comprehension and expression. These assignments often involve multiple interpreters based upon duration of the event, the languages covered, or to address other unique needs.
