Record language interpretation sessions

Language interpreters can record business and practice sessions using Evoca’s convenient voice recording service.

Recording a session is as easy as conducting a conference call by phone or Skype, which is especially convenient for international teams. When the recording session is completed, the host can email the recording to the appropriate recipients, keep it private in an Evoca account, or share it online.

These are the typical roles in a spoken word interpretation session:

• Interpreter
• Speaker – Interpreter actively listens to this speaker of the source language
• Listener – Interpreter conveys the speaker’s spoken words into the target language of the Listener
• Optional: an instructor or evaluator can listen in
