Machine Translation Post-Editing (MTPE) or Machine Translation Proofreading Explained
So, how does it work?
Have you ever wondered how people from different countries can understand each other in real-time at international events? The answer is remote simultaneous interpretation, or RSI for short.
Have you ever wondered how people from different countries can understand each other in real-time at international events? The answer is remote simultaneous interpretation, or RSI for short.
With RSI, interpreters can translate speeches and conversations instantly from anywhere in the world, using advanced technology that makes it feel like they’re right there in the room with you. It’s a fascinating process that involves specialized cloud platforms, precise audio administration and processing as well as carefully planned workflows to ensure that nothing gets lost in translation.
Remote simultaneous interpretation, or RSI for short, is a contemporary way to provide real-time language interpretation via internet instead of using traditional on-site equipment. It also allows interpreters to work from anywhere in the world, giving you access to top professionals without distance being an obstacle.
Even though RSI is remote, the core idea is the same as onsite simultaneous interpretation – accurately conveying the meaning of what’s being said into another language as it’s spoken. The speaker’s voice is transmitted online to interpreters, who listen and interpret in real time. Their interpretation is instantly sent to attendees, who have previously selected their preferred language on their devices.
As online meetings and events become more common, RSI will likely play a growing role in connecting people across the globe.
While the idea and technique behind traditional interpretation and remote simultaneous interpretation is the same, they are fundamentally different in how they deliver multilingual events.
With traditional interpretation, interpreters need to be physically present at your event venue and with that related travel and accommodation arrangements must be made. Additionally, extensive on-site equipment and at least one technician is necessary to facilitate the interpretation process. These logistical requirements not only affect costs but also restrict the scalability of multilingual events.
In contrast, RSI platforms enable our interpreters to work remotely from anywhere in the world. They can integrate seamlessly with popular video conferencing tools, making them ideal for today’s hybrid events. In addition, this eliminates travel and accommodation arrangements for you while also reducing your technology costs.
The advantages of our remote simultaneous interpretation services extend beyond cost savings. You can now access a broader pool of our qualified interpreters, offer more language combinations, and seamlessly integrate interpretation into your virtual or hybrid events.
| Feature | Traditional SI | RSI |
| Equipment | Booths & hardware at the venue | Internet-based platform |
| Location | Interpreters must be on-site | Interpreters can work remotely |
| Scalability | Limited by venue size | Unlimited, as many as needed |
To make RSI work, you need a strong tech setup with secure cloud platforms like Zoom or Teams, high-quality audio gear, and fast internet with sufficient bandwidth to support uninterrupted communication.
Throughout, backend administration of such online sessions is key to ensuring seamless communication and allowing attendees to listen in their preferred language without disruption.
RSI offers major benefits that make it a great choice for global communication. It eliminates travel expenses as well as the need to rent venues or equipment. At the same time, it lets both participants and interpreters join from all over the world, plus they can join at much later notice than if they needed to show up on-site.
We use remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) technology to provide interpretation in over 50 languages. This breaks down language barriers and enables organizations and businesses to reach diverse audiences with rare geographical limitations.
RSI can deliver substantial cost savings compared to traditional on-site interpretation by reducing travel, accommodation, and technology expenses.
By utilizing cloud-based platforms, costs are incurred for the required interpreting services only. The fees for the chosen RSI platform depend on factors such as the event type, audio setup at the speaker’s location, the number of languages, the attendee count, and event duration, allowing for precise budget planning.
Additionally, remote and on-site services can be strategically combined to maximize both cost efficiency and overall effectiveness.
With RSI, organizations can engage interpreters from around the world without the constraints of travel logistics or associated expenses, offering significantly greater flexibility when scheduling events.
Additionally, clients are no longer limited to local interpreters, allowing them to select the ideal professional for their specific needs, even for rare language pairs or specialized subject areas.
Last-minute adjustments can also be accommodated more easily, as interpreters do not need to be physically present to carry out the interpretation.
Overall, this approach provides access to a broader talent pool, enhanced flexibility, and a more streamlined, hassle-free experience for all parties involved.
While remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) offers many benefits, it is not always ideal for every event or organization.
Poor Internet Connectivity: RSI depends on a stable internet connection. Events in areas with unreliable service risk technical disruptions, affecting interpretation quality.
Confidential or Sensitive Discussions: For highly sensitive meetings—such as legal or government discussions—on-site interpretation may offer better security than remote solutions.
Complex Multi-Language Events: Large-scale events with multiple language channels or technical challenges may be better suited for traditional interpretation setups.
Audience or Speaker Preferences: If participants are not tech-savvy or prefer in-person interpreters, RSI may not be the best fit.
Events Requiring Non-Verbal Cues: Legal, medical, or high-stakes negotiations often rely on body language, making in-person interpretation more effective.
Limited Technical Support: RSI requires proper setup, testing, and troubleshooting. If an organization lacks technical resources, on-site interpretation may be a safer choice.
When organizing events like this, consider whether on-site simultaneous interpretation might be a more suitable option.

Many types of organizations now rely on remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) to communicate across languages.
Global corporations use RSI for international board meetings with executives tuning in from around the world. It’s also become a staple at large conferences, enabling attendees to participate fully in their native tongues.
With RSI, organizations can manage a wide range of events, from virtual meetings and training sessions to customer support, as well as small team calls and large investor events with thousands of participants.
Next, let’s explore how RSI benefits academia. Universities and research institutions employ the technology to make virtual lectures and conferences accessible to students and scholars no matter where they’re located or what language they speak. Platforms such as Zoom and WebEx have simplified the process of hosting these multilingual events, making them more accessible than ever before.
RSI has also proven invaluable in the public sector. Government agencies and diplomatic organizations use it to facilitate communication during international negotiations and summits. The technology ensures all parties can express themselves clearly and understand one another, even when multiple languages are involved.
In these high-stakes contexts, RSI enables more productive dialogue and smoother collaboration.
As remote meetings and events become increasingly common, expect to see RSI leveraged in even more industries worldwide. The technology breaks down language barriers, opening up new possibilities for globalized business and cross-border cooperation.
As the virtual events market continues to grow, we’re seeing more conferences, trade shows, and virtual summits leveraging our services to create inclusive, multilingual experiences for their global audiences.
We offer interpreters across more than 50 languages, enabling you to deliver translated presentations, multilingual polling, and live chat translations.
We cover various event types such as:
We believe that this technology will revolutionize educational settings by overcoming language barriers. It enables schools and universities to foster inclusive learning environments where students and educators can communicate effectively, regardless of their native language.
RSI facilitates a wide range of academic scenarios, from international student orientations to guest lectures and global research collaborations.
The technology seamlessly integrates with virtual learning platforms, allowing interpreters to provide real-time translation while students remain focused on the course content.
For instance, a physics professor in Denmark can deliver a lecture to students worldwide, with interpreters translating into multiple languages simultaneously.
In addition to its cost-effectiveness, RSI makes quality education more accessible to institutions with limited resources. It allows for the connection with expert speakers, the hosting of multilingual parent-teacher conferences, and the support of ESL students, all without the logistical complexities of on-site interpretation.
With proper preparation, including providing interpreters with lesson materials and technical support, we can create dynamic, multicultural learning spaces that prepare students for an interconnected world.
