Etäkonsekutiivtulkkaus

Etäkonsekutiivtulkkaus, also known as remote consecutive interpreting, is a mode of interpreting where the interpreter is not physically present with the speaker and listener(s). Instead, the interpreter participates in the communication via telecommunications technology, such as video conferencing or telephone. In this type of interpreting, the speaker delivers a segment of speech, pauses, and then the interpreter renders the segment into the target language. This process is repeated for the duration of the communication.

This method offers several advantages, including cost savings by eliminating travel expenses and the ability to access interpreters regardless of their geographical location. It also provides flexibility in scheduling and can be particularly useful for meetings or events where participants are spread across different locations. However, etäkonsekutiivtulkkaus also presents challenges. Technical issues, such as poor audio or video quality, can significantly hinder comprehension and the flow of communication. The interpreter may also miss non-verbal cues that are crucial for understanding context and nuance, which are more readily available in face-to-face interpreting. Furthermore, maintaining focus and managing the communication flow can be more demanding for both the interpreter and the participants in a remote setting. Specialized equipment and a stable internet connection are essential for effective etäkonsekutiivtulkkaus.
