Whispered Interpreting
Whispered interpreting services you can trust
Our whispered interpreting services provide real-time support in situations where discretion is essential, such as legal proceedings, board meetings or sensitive discussions.
Whispered interpreting involves a linguist listening to the speaker by ear and then quietly relaying the translation to the listener. It allows participants to follow proceedings without disruption, and is an excellent choice when a full simultaneous interpreting setup is not possible.
Where required, both linguists and project managers can sign non-disclosure agreements, giving you confidence that sensitive information is handled responsibly and in line with our ISO-certified processes.

Seamless simultaneous interpreting, delivered in real time
Our approach focuses on confidentiality and end‑to‑end support, ensuring the solution fits seamlessly into your meeting or event.
Built for smaller or shorter sessions
With whispered interpreting, the linguist sits close to the listener and quietly interprets the spoken content into their ear. No equipment is required for one listener; however, equipment can be used to accommodate a very small group.
This format is suited to court hearings, business meetings, site visits and other smaller or sensitive settings. Whispered interpreting can be delivered in simultaneous or consecutive interpreting modes, as long as the linguist is of course whispering.
Selecting the right linguist for your assignment
Every assignment is matched with a linguist who has the appropriate subject-matter experience and proven suitability for this specialist mode of interpreting.
Our in-house vendor management department carefully vets linguists, considering language pair, sector knowledge and confidentiality requirements.
Where needed, linguists and project managers can also sign non-disclosure agreements to support secure delivery alongside our ISO-certified processes.
Complete technical and project support
From initial planning through to delivery, you are supported by a dedicated account manager and project manager who act as clear points of contact.
Your team will organise your assignment and provide support on the day to help you resolve any issues that might come up.
The same team can support follow-on meetings, future interpreting projects or any other additional language services you may need, such as transcription, translation and desktop publishing.
