Multilingual meetings in Europe usually require the interpreters having to be flown in. This not only takes a big bite out of your budget (hotel en transport cost), but is also taxing on the environment. That is why duvall developed Remote Conference Interpreting (RCI). Thanks to RCI, duvall is able to provide on-site simultaneous interpretation, without loss of speed or quality.

Advantages of RCI

• The organisers of multilingual meetings cut down on the interpreters' travel and hotel costs and can opt for smaller meeting rooms, which are cheaper and more pleasant.

• For interpreters, RCI allows them to work with their familiar equipment in their familiar environment and that they are able to go home after work.

• And, lastly, the fact that no interpreters or booths need to be transported is also good news for the environment.

In short, duvall's RCI allows you to reduce the ecological footprint and cut costs in a user-friendly way.

duvall RCI Technology
When developing a solution for remote simultaneous interpretation, duvall applied very strict standards and all developments were the result of close cooperation with professional conference interpreters:

• The translation is simultaneous, i.e. there is no noticeable delay.

• Working as an interpreter requires working as a team: the interpreters work together from a single location. This makes the interpretation process more manageable, allowing for a better follow-up of the quality and continuity of the connections.

• Interpreters are able to work with their familiar equipment in their familiar environment and are able to go home after work.

• Interpreters get a clear and high-quality real-time video feed of the speaker (with lip-synch).

• They also get a general view of the meeting room and are able to follow the presentations on a screen.

• Data is sent across a secure connection, which is dedicated, fast and high-quality.

The technical process is as follows: duvall sends the video and audio feed over IP from the meeting room to the interpreters' location and then sends the translation back to the meeting. The whole process involves minimal delays so both participants and interpreters hardly realise they are not physically present in the same location.
