WE ASSIST YOU WITH THE PLANNING AND COORDINATION OF YOUR MULTILINGUAL MEETING OR EVENT

Conference interpretation or simultaneous translation is used at meetings where more than one language is spoken. It is a tool used to communicate the message of the speakers and delegates from one language into another or into multiple languages. The role of the interpreter is to communicate the speaker’s meaning accurately and efficiently.

There are two forms of conference interpretation:

• Simultaneous Interpretationis the most frequently used form (where the interpreter speaks at the same time as the speaker, usually through electronic equipment).
• Consecutive Interpretationis used for small discussion groups and in negotiations (where the interpreter repeats after the speaker).
• Interpreters work in teams to perform their highly demanding task.

Studio Acta, thanks to its team of professionals based in Italy and internationally, provides a high quality multilingual services in a variety of languages and language combinations. The majority of the languages provided are Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portoguese, Russian and in most recent years due to rapid economic developments of many emerging markets like Turkey, China and even Iran, we have become specialist providers of Chinese, Turkish and Persian language.

Thanks to a global network of Audio Visual suppliers, Studio Acta, is able to offer a turn key service including language professionals and equipment such as interpreting booths, receivers for the delegates and technical assistance. For guided tours, factory visits, or even small meetings or when there is only a small number of international delegates that need interpretation, we provide tour guide systems with radio transmitters and a microphone for the interpreter. We can also provide remote interpreting when specific language combinations are difficult to source locally.

WE SERVICE WEBINARS, BOARD MEETINGS, CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES, ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES, AND ARE AN ACADEMIC RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS. AS YOUR DEVOTED SPEECH-TO-TEXT SPECIALISTS, WE PUT THE “HEARD” TO “WORD”!

OUR SERVICES:

At Studio Acta we not only offer high-quality interpretation and translation services, we have also mastered the art of speech capturing. Speech recognition technology has become a widely used tool for transcriptionists. In a process called shadow speaking, the transcriptionist (who has trained the speech recognition software to understand his or her speech) simply speaks along with the audio, repeating what the speaker is saying. With this technology our transcriptionists are able to produce real time subtitling and provide accurate transcripts of conferences, meetings or seminars. Our team is able to provide speech to text service remotely, all over the world, whether your event is online or participants are physically gathered together.
