Interpreting Services Our interpreters are skilled and experienced in the languages and subject matters they cover. The following is a brief outline of the types of interpreting services we can provide. Conference Interpreting: Consecutive interpreting is where the interpreter takes notes of an original speech at a meeting and reproduces the entire statement in the target language. Simultaneous interpreting is the most common type of interpreting used at conferences. Interpreters, working in pairs, are seated in a soundproof booth ideally overlooking the conference. They hear the speaker through headphones and interpret it into the required language for the participants, who receive it through their headsets. Whispering is quite similar to simultaneous, but is done without a soundproof booth. Realistically an interpreter can only 'whisper' if he or she is placed between two or three listeners at any one time. Bilateral interpreting is used when accompanying clients on specific visits, e.g.: visits of companies, factories, etc. The interpreter works both into and out of his/her mother tongue. Community Interpreting: Community interpreting is usually required by service providers e.g. hospitals, police stations and for different clients: refugees, asylum seekers, etc. We cover most languages across the World including Eastern European, Arabic and Asian. Some of our interpreters live locally in the Munster region. However, many live in different parts of the country, so notice in advance is necessary to ensure the right type of interpreter for your job. Please contact us with your language requirement by completing the interpreting form. Our interpreters are qualified to work in many different subject areas. Interpreters are selected based on the criteria specified in the job specifications. Each interpreter is picked for his or her functional and language skills, resulting in an excellent fit between the interpreter(s) and the job. Interpreting rates (different for community or conference interpreting) are available on request from our Interpreting Department.     Testimonials Fruition Inc Galway "Unique Voice provided Fruition this year with a highly professional and discreet service that greatly assisted my work in business mentoring with two key clients. The professional calibre and demeanor of the interpreter that worked with us was excellent. Not only did they provide clarity on issues requiring translation they also worked on the softer aspects of trust and confidentiality required for Fruition to progress my client’s needs. I am delighted that Kerry has such an excellent resource in Unique Voice."
