Interpreting “chuchotage”
“Whispering interpreting”, also known as chuchotage, is a particular form of simultaneous interpreting in which the interpreter sits or stands behind / beside one or two meeting participants and whispers the translation simultaneously into their ear. This technique is only possible for a maximum of two participants.
If the group of participants requiring the translation is larger, but it is not possible to use an interpreting booth, e.g. for guided tours or visits, a mobile interpreting set can be used. We can also provide this equipment.

Portable / mobile whispering equipment including receivers, headsets, and a microphone
This equipment consists of a wireless microphone, receivers and headsets. Those listening to the translation wear the receivers and headsets and the interpreter speaks into the wireless microphone. There are infrared and inductive variations of this equipment.
Whispering equipment can be used in cases where an interpreting booth cannot be set up, for instance if the participants are on the move. It is thus suited to guided tours or factory visits, for example.
