ISO 17651-2:2024 explained — Acoustic & Ventilation Standards for Interpretation Booths

In January 2024, the International Organization for Standardization formally withdrew the long-standing ISO 4043:2016 and ISO 2603:2016 standards, officially superseding them with ISO 17651-2:2024 (Mobile Booths) and ISO 17651-1:2024 (Permanent Booths). This standard represents the most significant update to simultaneous interpretation engineering in over a decade, introducing stricter sound insulation thresholds ($R’w \ge 28\text{ dB}$), […]

AI-assisted vs. Human Simultaneous Interpretation — Accuracy, Latency & Error Rate

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) into spoken language translation has sparked a transformation in event technology. While automated speech-to-speech AI systems offer rapid deployment, **human simultaneous conference interpretation remains the gold standard** for high-stakes diplomatic summits, legal arbitrations, and complex technical conferences where zero error tolerance, cultural nuance, and

Hybrid Interpretation vs On-site Interpretation: system design, use cases, and decision framework (2026)

Introduction As events become increasingly global and digitally enabled, organizations must choose between on-site interpretation and hybrid interpretation models. While both approaches serve the same objective—real-time multilingual communication—their technical requirements, cost structures, and operational risks differ significantly. This article provides a clear technical comparison of hybrid and on-site interpretation, explaining how each model works, when
