Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) for events in any state in Brazil. Delivered via Zoom, Teams, Webex or in person. Learn about the modalities.
Studio quality for your event, with no travel costs. Interpreters placed in our remote hub and audio delivered perfectly to anywhere in Brazil.
Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) allows professional interpreters to translate live events without needing to be in the same place as the participants or speakers. The flow takes place in three fundamental stages:
The speakers' original audio is captured at the event venue (or in the virtual room) and transmitted over the internet with very low latency to our interpretation hub.
Our interpreters, working from acoustically isolated professional studios, receive the signal, hear the original language and translate instantly using industry-standard consoles.
The translated audio returns to the virtual platform or to the sound system of the in-person event, allowing the audience to hear their native language perfectly synchronized.
lingo's RSI infrastructure is flexible and serves both 100% online and in-person events. How do participants receive the audio?
We use Zoom's native interpretation feature. The participant clicks the globe icon and chooses the desired audio channel directly in the interface.
Full setup using Teams' native interpretation support. Clean audio, dedicated channels and a seamless experience within the Microsoft ecosystem.
Because Meet has no native channels, we use the Bring Your Own Device method. The participant accesses Meet on the computer and the translation on the phone.
End-to-end integration with Cisco Webex's native module, ensuring corporate security and perfect distribution of the translated audio.
At a physical event, participants scan a QR code, connect their headphones and listen to the translation via streaming directly on their own smartphone.
For audiences who prefer the traditional experience, we integrate the remote signal with physical radio transmitters distributed locally.

|---|---|---|
| Logistics and Travel | None. Interpreters work from the studio. | Requires flights, hotel, transfers and meals. |
| On-Site Infrastructure | Requires only a stable internet connection (if in person). | Requires an acoustic booth taking up space in the room. |
| Total Cost | Up to 40% lower thanks to the absence of logistics. | Higher, subject to tickets and daily allowances. |
| Hiring Speed | Can be activated quickly. | Requires advance planning. |
| Event Dynamics | Excellent for talks, panels and virtual events. | Ideal for complex dynamics and visits. |
Remote Interpretation has transformed the events market. We recommend the RSI format when:
On the other hand, prefer In-Person interpretation for factory audits, shop floors without internet, intimate business dinners and highly interactive workshops where the interpreter needs to walk alongside the delegation.
Remote technology has evolved and today lingo delivers solutions led both by top-calibre professionals and by our proprietary artificial intelligence, the lingo AI.
The best minds operating our remote structure. They bring warmth, emotion, rhythm and empathy to communication.
Our automated platform. Unmatched cost-effectiveness for standardized meetings and continuous transcription.
Remote interpretation does without a booth, but it does not do without preparation. The organizer has to ensure three things: a stable internet connection at the place the audio comes from, a good-quality microphone for each speaker and the platform configured with the interpretation channel. When the event is in person, the stage audio reaches the interpretation hub through a direct feed from the room's sound, and the return with the translation goes into the receivers, the QR code or the platform channel.
The quality of the original audio defines the quality of interpretation. A speaker with a poor microphone, or far from the microphone, harms the interpreters' work more than any other variable. That is why lingo asks for a test before the event, with the same equipment and the same connection that will be used on the day, and advises speakers to talk at a moderate pace and not to talk over each other.
lingo's interpreters work in acoustically isolated studios, in São Paulo, with industry-standard consoles. As in in-person interpretation, they work in pairs and alternate during the session, which preserves accuracy at long events. A technician follows the broadcast, monitors the audio and solves connection problems before they reach the audience.
The same discipline of preparation applies to remote interpretation: the organizer sends the agenda, presentations and glossary seven to ten days in advance, and the interpreter studies the material before the event. To understand what to send and when, see the guide to preparing your event for simultaneous interpretation. Because the team is in São Paulo, lingo serves clients in any state without charging for travel, and the pricing page shows what goes into the quote.
On Zoom and Teams, the interpretation channel is native: the participant chooses the language through the globe icon, and the original audio can be lowered so that the translation comes through clearly. On Webex, the integration follows the same principle, with corporate security features. On Google Meet, which has no native channels, the participant uses the BYOD method: opens Meet on the computer and listens to the translation on the phone, through a link or audio app.
Each platform has its own details, and lingo keeps a page for each one: simultaneous interpretation on Zoom, on Microsoft Teams, on Google Meet and on Webex, as well as the general platforms page. It is worth checking which one your company uses before hiring, because the choice affects the notice participants receive and the prior test.
At a hybrid event, part of the audience is in the room and part is online. RSI serves both audiences with the same team: those in the room listen by QR code or physical receiver, and those online choose the channel on the platform. It is necessary to ensure that the room audio and the online audio reach the interpreters without echo, and the prior test serves to adjust this.
The simultaneous interpretation for hybrid events page details this format, and the wireless equipment page explains how the physical receivers work. The in-person operation has spare receivers and a redundant transmitter, so that an equipment failure does not interrupt interpretation.
The decision between the human interpreter and the lingo AI depends on the risk of the meeting. Sensitive negotiations, plenaries, M&A and meetings in which tone matters call for the human pair, with a prepared glossary and NDA. Weekly internal meetings, linear technical training and informational webinars can use the AI, with 24-hour activation and lower cost. The remote AI interpretation page details this format.
In confidential operations, lingo signs an NDA with a validity of 5 years before receiving any material, and Alex Barros does not accept competing mandates on the same deal. To know how much it is worth investing, the simultaneous interpretation ROI page for SP helps compare cost and risk.
Because audio travels through the cloud, RSI makes international meetings easier. A group in Brazil can meet with participants in Europe, Asia or the United States, each listening in their own language. The time zone becomes the main challenge: a 9 a.m. meeting in São Paulo falls in the afternoon in Europe and at night in Asia. The interpretation team is organized according to the schedule, and the ideal is to set the agenda in advance.
For less common languages, such as Mandarin, Japanese and Hebrew, lead time matters even more, because the availability of specialized interpreters is lower. The languages page lists the pairs served, and the multilingual simultaneous interpretation page explains how to organize events with more than two languages.
The quote amount is the final invoice amount. lingo has worked for 21 years at corporate events, congresses and meetings, and serves clients in every state of Brazil.
Because audio travels through the cloud, lingo serves clients based in any state of Brazil, delivering crystal-clear sound without you paying for travel allowances.
Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) is a modality in which interpreters work from a studio or remote hub, receiving the original audio over the internet and transmitting the translation in real time to participants, without having to be physically at the event venue.
Yes. lingo offers remote simultaneous interpretation across Brazil. The interpreters operate in São Paulo and deliver the audio via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex or another platform, regardless of the state where the event takes place.
We work with native integration for Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Webex. We also support Google Meet via BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) and options for in-person events using a QR code or physical receivers.
Yes, as long as the technical infrastructure is adequate. We use professional capture and transmission equipment to ensure that the clarity and response time of the interpretation are equivalent to those of the in-person format.
At in-person events with RSI, participants can hear the translation by scanning a QR code to access the audio on their own smartphone (BYOD) or by using traditional radio receivers synchronized with our hub.
Human interpretation brings nuance, cultural adaptation and an understanding of context to complex negotiations. The lingo AI is our artificial intelligence solution focused on speed, cost-effectiveness and continuous accessibility for more standardized events.
RSI is ideal for online and hybrid events, with space restrictions for booths, limited budgets for interpreter logistics, or quick meetings that require immediate activation without travel costs.
Our technical team helps design the ideal remote solution for your audience.
