During simultaneous interpreting, the interpreters listen to, analyze and
interpret the presentation or speech at the same time (with just a slight lag)
and same rate of delivery as the person speaking. It is the most challenging
mode of interpreting that requires specialized skills. This type of
interpreting often requires special equipment. Simultaneous Community
Interpreting is delivered on location and includes, but is not limited to,
encounters in the healthcare/medical, family protective/social services,
education, housing, and other community -based and social -based settings.
Chuchotage (or "whispered interpreting") is a form of simultaneous
interpreting where an interpreter is positioned right next to the listener or
small group of listeners, and whispers to the listener(s) interpretation of
what the speaker is saying at the same time as the speaker is saying it with
just a slight lag. Thus, speaker does not pause for an interpreter to
complete interpretation. It is usually used when there is a small group of
