Simultaneous interpreting for meetings that happen online.
Webinars, town halls, board meetings, trainings and hybrid events — every participant hears the meeting in their own language, wherever they are logged in from.
Straight answer
STIB provides remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) for online and hybrid meetings on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex and other platforms. Interpreters work from a professional remote setup and speak into a separate language channel; each participant selects the language they want to hear. Sessions longer than about an hour are staffed with two interpreters per language, and the audio is tested before the meeting. Available worldwide, in Portuguese, English, Spanish and more than 40 other languages.

From booking to the first word

Interpreters matched by language pair and subject; a pair per language for sessions over about an hour; confidentiality agreed before material moves.
3. Technical check
Interpreters are added to the platform's interpretation feature and the audio is tested with your host before the session.
4. Live session
Participants choose their language channel; the interpreters follow the meeting, including the parts of the agenda that change on the day.
Straight answers
Remote interpreting: questions we are asked
What is remote simultaneous interpreting?
Remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) is live interpreting delivered over a video platform. The interpreters work from a professional remote setup, listen to the meeting and speak the interpretation into a separate language channel, and each participant chooses the language they want to hear.
Which platforms does STIB work on?
Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex, which all have a built-in interpretation feature, and other platforms your meeting already uses. The host assigns the interpreters, participants pick their language channel, and the audio is tested with the interpreters before the session.
How many interpreters does an online session need?
For sessions longer than about an hour, two interpreters per language who alternate, the same professional practice as in a booth. Short meetings under an hour can often be covered by one interpreter per language.
Can remote interpreting be used for a hybrid event?
Yes. Interpreted channels can be fed both to remote participants on the platform and to people in the room through receivers or the venue's audio system. The audio chain is planned with the event's technical team before the day.
