Types of interpreting services provided at conferences or meetings where participants speak different languages include simultaneous, consecutive or whispering interpreting. In most cases, conference interpreting is simultaneous, i.e. provided at the same time as the speech, and requires special equipment (booths, microphones, headsets) and technical support.

This type is provided at conferences and meetings that take place remotely and the interpreter is not present at the conference venue.

It is provided to people who do not speak well or do not speak at all the language of the country they live in or visit, so that they can communicate with public and private legal, medical, social, educational and administrative authorities.
