We are back on-site for interpreted events!
For this one we pushed for a hybrid solution to be able to handle any possible challenge for 9 languages and participants from 32 countries. We used 2 RSI platforms +conventional equipment. We had remote participants who could not make it on-site, remote presenters, some remote interpreters (on-site interpreters were required for the event for other non-meeting needs); multiple locations via our hub, & we added languages on the fly.
Thanks to our amazing hybrid team at DS-Interpretation, Inc. , led by our VP of Operations Candace Takeda, Senior Technology Specialist Jason Schwartz and our partner, Interactio - Multilingual Meetings Solution, our top notch pro conference interpreters, and Kaleidoscope Productions. Year 24 of this event! Live events are important for in-person networking - but now they also need audio networking to be successful!

IT'S OUT! The Interpreter's Guide to Audio and Video, which our CEO, Naomi Bowman co-authored with Josh Goldsmith is available now through techforword! For both signed and spoken language interpreters, this guide will help you improve your home set up for remote interpreting.
Buy your copy HERE.
CEO, Naomi Bowman
Here is what people are saying about the e-book
"This is it. The most complete guide to audio and video for interpreters you can buy. Since remote interpreting in all its guises is here to stay, this book should be a permanent fixture on your phone or your desk."
"This manual is a goldmine – all the information that most of us have spent a year piecing together in one convenient place. Without a doubt, Naomi and Josh are two of the world’s experts on technology for interpreters, and it shows. They’ve done all the research and the legwork so you don’t have to.
Want to know which microphone is a good fit for you? It’s in there? Wondering what krisp.ai is? They’ve got you covered. Same for the brilliant elevator pitch to clients on how to get great sound from them, on why sometimes a hamper full of dirty laundry is a good thing, and on why you need a backup communication channel with both your interpreting partner and your client.
Even though I’d done a deep dive into interpreting technology myself in the last 12 months, I learned a lot and can’t recommend this manual enough. It should be required reading for every interpreter who wants to work online – and it’s a fun read, written in an accessible, upbeat and inclusive style. Well done!"
Working with us at DS-Interpretation, Inc. to customize solutions for our clients and being true team players is what a successful partnership is all about! RSI rockstars!!

There is no "Us vs. Them" - there is only "Us" - and we are working together to improve the field of Remote Simultaneous Interpreting.
Naomi Bowman, CEO of DS-Interpretation, Inc., participated as a panelist for the Globalization and Localization Association (GALA) Connect session on September 24th on "Will AI Replace Interpreters?”
What was her message? "It's the same as our Company Vision at DS-Interpretation, Inc.: We make technology work for meetings & events - for better human communication. Above all, language technology is a set of tools developed out of market demand, to help all of us (including interpreters) improve human communication. I don't view it as an ‘Us vs. The Machines’ situation. There is only ‘Us’.”
