WE ASSIST YOU WITH THE PLANNING AND COORDINATION OF YOUR MULTILINGUAL MEETING OR EVENT

Conference interpretation or simultaneous translation is used at meetings where more than one language is spoken. It is a tool used to communicate the message of the speakers and delegates from one language into another or into multiple languages. The role of the interpreter is to communicate the speaker’s meaning accurately and efficiently.

There are two forms of conference interpretation:

  • Simultaneous Interpretationis the most frequently used form (where the interpreter speaks at the same time as the speaker, usually through electronic equipment).
  • Consecutive Interpretationis used for small discussion groups and in negotiations (where the interpreter repeats after the speaker).
  • Interpreters work in teams to perform their highly demanding task.

Studio Acta, thanks to its team of professionals based in Italy and internationally, provides a high quality multilingual services in a variety of languages and language combinations. The majority of the languages provided are Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portoguese, Russian and in most recent years due to rapid economic developments of many emerging markets like Turkey, China and even Iran, we have become specialist providers of Chinese, Turkish and Persian language.

Thanks to a global network of Audio Visual suppliers, Studio Acta, is able to offer a turn key service including language professionals and equipment such as interpreting booths, receivers for the delegates and technical assistance. For guided tours, factory visits, or even small meetings or when there is only a small number of international delegates that need interpretation, we provide tour guide systems with radio transmitters and a microphone for the interpreter. We can also provide remote interpreting when specific language combinations are difficult to source locally.

BE AWARE OF AGENCIES THAT OFFER ON-LINE GENERATED QUOTATIONS

We hold to three core values: personalized service, quality assurance and quality control. We work with you each step of the way ensuring quality and professionalism at every stage. This emphasis on excellence and customized service means that every client will be appointed a project manager that will find the best  solution putting your objective always first to obtain the best result!

Our advise for any client requiring interpreting service:

  • Put quality first and choose professional interpreters with a proven track record of experience and the right qualifications. The difference in cost will be repaid by the quality of the result.
  • Prepare ahead of time: in order to ensure that your multilingual live event goes off without a hitch, you should collaborate with your chosen interpreting company ahead of time. This means providing preparation material like presentations, slides, videos, speaker biographies and anything that can help the interpreters build the necesssary vocabulary and arrive well prepared.

FOLLOW OUR ADVICE:

Qualified interpreters not only render the words of one language into another, but also illuminate the feelings behind those words. Translation is not a matter of words only: it is a matter of making intelligible a whole culture.

We advice against DIY.

Be aware that unfortunately anyone can claim to be an interpreter. Choosing Studio Acta will guarantee that you work with real professionals.  We advise against doing-it-yourself and engaging interpreters and translators according to criteria other than quality. This unfortunately often happens at international conferences, with the risk that the speech is not conveyed in a professional manner provoking laughter and indignation amongst delegates.

The translators did a very good job, we were very happy with their service.

We contribute to the success of your event!

Your multilingual event — Recruiting interpreters can be a daunting prospect if you are unfamiliar with multilingual events. Planning ahead will ensure that participants can speak freely in their own languages and make themselves understood.

We communicate in the culture of your audience.

Interpreting adds value: Studio Acta interpreters are masters of their craft and the best guarantee of success when people from different cultures come together. They become your voice so that others can hear you. 

Defining your requirements: there are many things to consider when buying interpretation services. Start by deciding which languages your speakers and participants are most comfortable with. This will help determine the type of interpreting service you need. 

Languages at your event: which languages do your listeners understand? Which languages do your speakers speak well enough not to over-simplify the message? Choosing the right languages for your meeting is crucial for its success. 

AV & interpreting equipment: the quality and reliability of the equipment also determines the quality and reliability of the interpreting service and thereby the success of your event. 

How much does it cost? Interpreters command fees similar to other professionals. However, interpreting at a major conference usually costs less than just one of the other services like transport, accommodation, catering etc.

THE EXPERTS OF SPEECH TO TEXT CAPTURING AND

RESPEAKING TECHNOLOGY

WE SERVICE WEBINARS, BOARD MEETINGS, CLINICAL RESEARCH STUDIES, ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES, AND ARE AN ACADEMIC RESOURCE FOR STUDENTS. AS YOUR DEVOTED SPEECH-TO-TEXT SPECIALISTS, WE PUT THE “HEARD” TO “WORD”!

OUR SERVICES:

At Studio Acta we not only offer high-quality interpretation and translation services, we have also mastered the art of speech capturing. Speech recognition technology has become a widely used tool for transcriptionists. In a process called shadow speaking, the transcriptionist (who has trained the speech recognition software to understand his or her speech) simply speaks along with the audio, repeating what the speaker is saying. With this technology our transcriptionists are able to produce real time subtitling and provide accurate transcripts of conferences, meetings or seminars. Our team is able to provide speech to text service remotely, all over the world, whether your event is online or participants are physically gathered together.

  • SIMULTANEOUS TRANSLATION SUBTITLED

delegates read rather than listen to the simultaneous translation and listen to the speaker original voice. In this way we cater for all delegates also deaf and hard of hearing, there is no need for receivers and headphones and this service is often required when the official language of the event is the language of the audience with the exception of maybe a guest speaker or during a Gala Dinner or even when a speaker connects remotely via videoconference.

  • MULTILINGUAL TRANSCRIPTIONS

we not only transcribe in Italian but also in English, German, French and any of the major Western and Asian languages from any audio or visual support, be it a video or a digital audio file.

  • CLOSED CAPTIONING FOR THE DEAF AND HARD OF HEARING

deaf or hard of hearing cannot leap read in a language that isn’t their native language. For example an Italian deaf student who attends university lectures in English is provided by Studio Acta with live subtitling in English which enables him to participate and understand. No need to take notes either as we provide the professor’s verbatim lecture in English and if required also translated in Italian.
