Remote Consecutive interpretation is the process by which a remote interpreter interprets what is said, after it is said from one language into another. Technology plays a critical role for the remote interpreter to have a clear view of the speakers and to hear what is being said perfectly in order to interpret effectively for the listeners. Remote consecutive interpretation can be offered in two primary ways: Over-The-Phone Interpretation (OPI) With OPI, a remote interpreter can only hear what is being said before interpreting it into another language since the interpretation takes place through a phone call without a video feed. It is the most cost-effective method of providing consecutive interpretation and it is available on short notice. Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) via Video Conferencing VRI is a commonly used term to refer to consecutive interpretation provided by a remote interpreter who can both be seen on an electronic device and can also see everyone else participating in a meeting regardless of where they may be. When we refer to remote consecutive interpretation in this section we are referring primarily to the video conferencing type allowing the interpreter to be seen and heard on live streaming video.
