Whispered Interpretation

In whispered interpreting (chuchotage, in French), the interpreter sits or stands next to the small target-language audience whilst whispering a simultaneous interpretation of the matter at hand; this method requires no equipment but may be done via a microphone and headphones if the participants prefer.
Chuchotage is used when the majority of a group speaks the source language, while a minority (ideally no more than three people) does not. Learn more about our whispered interpretation service in the blog ‘What is Whispered Interpretation?’
