Infoport vs. traditional simultaneous interpreting: which is the best option?

In interpreting, technology has completely transformed the way oral translations are performed in real time, enabling multilingual communication in increasingly diverse and discerning environments.

This evolution means that today we have various solutions tailored to all types of events and needs. Two of the most commonly used options are Infoport, a portable and flexible system, and the traditional technical setup for simultaneous interpreting, recognised for its precision and quality in large-scale events.

Although both systems share the same objective, namely allowing participants to understand a speech in their language immediately, the differences in infrastructure, cost, logistics and user experience are significant.

So it is essential to grasp how each one works and in which settings it is most appropriate so you can take the best decision based on the type of event, the number of attendees, the environment and the available budget.

What is Infoport and how does it work?

Infoport is a portable, wireless simultaneous interpreting system specially designed to enable multilingual communication in situations where mobility, quick deployment and technical simplicity are priorities.

This system consists of a wireless transmitter used by the interpreter to broadcast the translation in real time plus individual receivers worn by the attendees who listen to the interpretation through headphones.

Unlike traditional systems, Infoport does not require soundproofed booths or technical consoles. Its simple and efficient operation makes it an ideal choice for guided tours, audits, inspections, on-site training or small meetings. Participants can move freely around the space without losing the thread of the speech.

Furthermore, its lightness, autonomy and ease of use allow the system to be up and running in a matter of minutes with no need for specialised technical personnel. In a nutshell, Infoport is a practical, functional and cost-effective solution for events with few attendees which require clear interpreting free of technical hassles.

How does traditional simultaneous interpreting work?

Traditional simultaneous interpreting is the most widely used system for large-scale events such as congresses, international conferences and institutional meetings. This model is based on a package of technical and human components that ensure accurate, seamless and premium quality communication in real time.

The process takes place in soundproofed booths where professional interpreters work with microphones, interpreter consoles and headsets isolated from outside noise so that they can fully concentrate on the original speech. While the speaker is talking, the interpreters translate simultaneously into the required language with only a few seconds delay.

The interpreting is relayed to the audience via a system of wireless receivers and individual headsets, allowing each attendee to follow the event's content in their own language with no interruptions or interference. to

Its ability to handle several languages at once and its outstanding professionalism make this type of interpretation the go-to solution in environments that call for rigour, protocol and communicative excellence.
