What is remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI)?
Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) delivers real-time interpretation through a web platform: interpreters render the speaker's words into other languages as they are spoken, and attendees select a language channel to listen on their own device. It keeps multilingual conferences, webinars, and town halls moving live, without on-site interpreting booths or travel.
A multilingual event that stops for interpretation stops working
Consecutive interpretation roughly doubles your running time; skipping interpretation altogether leaves part of your audience following nothing at all. Either way, the attendees you invited disengage — and for public meetings and town halls, residents who can't follow the proceedings aren't being served.

Remote simultaneous interpretation keeps a multilingual event moving in real time — every attendee listening in their own language, from wherever they are.
Taika Translations provides remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) in 300+ languages for conferences, webinars, and public meetings.
How RSI works
Interpreters work in real time as the speaker talks, and attendees choose their language channel to hear the interpretation over their own device. Because it’s remote, there’s no travel or on-site interpreting-booth setup, and an event can support several languages at once without slowing down.
Where RSI fits
- Conferences and summits with international or multilingual audiences.
- Webinars and virtual training delivered to participants across languages.
- Public meetings and town halls where residents need to follow along live.
- Board, shareholder, and all-hands meetings spanning multiple languages.
Choosing the right modality
RSI suits large, real-time, multilingual events. For one-on-one or small-group conversations, video remote interpretation or on-demand phone interpretation is usually the better fit, and on-site interpretation is available when presence in the room matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is remote simultaneous interpretation?
In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter renders the speaker's words into another language in real time, with only a slight delay, so listeners follow along live rather than waiting for pauses. Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) delivers that through a web platform: attendees select their language channel and hear the interpretation over their own device, from anywhere.
How is RSI different from consecutive interpretation?
In consecutive interpretation the speaker pauses so the interpreter can convey each segment, which roughly doubles the time and suits smaller meetings. Simultaneous interpretation happens in real time and keeps large, multilingual events moving — which is why conferences, webinars, and public meetings with several languages typically use it.
What events is RSI a good fit for?
Multilingual conferences, webinars, town halls, board and shareholder meetings, training sessions, and any live event where attendees speak several languages and the agenda needs to move in real time. Share your platform, languages, and agenda when you request a quote.
How many languages can one event support?
Multiple language channels can run in parallel at a single event, each with its own interpreter coverage — Taika scopes the team to your language list and agenda. The network spans 300+ languages, so the practical limit is your audience, not the language list.
What do you need from us to scope an RSI event?
The event platform, the languages required, dates and running time, and the agenda — including breakouts and speaker materials if available. With those, Taika scopes the interpreter team and setup, and quotes are answered the same business day.
Can RSI work alongside other interpretation formats?
Yes. Many organizations pair RSI for their large live events with video remote or phone interpretation for day-to-day encounters, and on-site interpreters where presence matters — all through the same vendor and project manager.
