Why use an automatic interpretation system over an operator-led one

(Last Updated On: July 14, 2017)An automatic interpretation system was some time ago a futuristic application and it's now a reality. Although it has already been conceptualized and it is also being used, we are not yet ready to consider it as a completed project and always working on it in order to make it better and better. Translation professionals and IT software developers are still working to make the automatic interpretation system the outstanding application it should be.

Automatic interpretation system vs operator-based



The excellence expected from the automatic interpretation system is already achieved and it is considered the best choice in a lot of circumstances.  We have previously stated in previous articles that phone interpretation is a great pro – active approach to timely communicate with overseas partners with no need to travel in – person and engage an in – person interpreter.

But, lets’ consider you have to travel abroad, and you are not speaking the language of that specific country; would it be phone interpretation the solution to your communication issue? For sure no. Of course you can always rely on an in – person interpreter. But, have you considered the cost of an in – person interpreter? Not to mention the double traveling costs. Thus, here we are facing the necessity of an automatic interpretation.

Automatic interpretation is usually being offered through an application that runs on a mobile, PC or any other dedicated device. This application renders into your language almost all the standardized information being provided in the foreign language. These applications are using their recorded vocabulary and grammar logic. They are functioning through speech recognition which triggers the word translation.

The operator - led solution in a similar situation to traveling wouldn’t be able to fulfill our needs, from the airport, to the bus station, the hotel and so on and so forth. Whilst, the automatic interpretation system would efficiently provide the necessary support to handle your traveling transition in a foreign country.

Anyways, whenever choosing an automatic interpretation system, make sure you are selecting a reliable service provider in order to make sure your system runs as it should be, 24/7.
