Remote Simultaneous Interpreting for Your China Business Meetings
Professional RSI delivered through Zoom, Tencent Meeting, Teams, and WebEx — by the same certified interpreters we use for in-person events. No travel required. Same quality. Lower cost.
Remote simultaneous interpreting has become the standard for international China business meetings. Here is why it works and where it fits best.
Significantly Lower Cost
No travel, no equipment transport, no venue booth installation. RSI eliminates the largest cost components of in-person simultaneous interpreting while maintaining the same quality of output.
Faster to Organise
No venue assessment, no booth logistics, no equipment shipping. Once the interpreter is booked and briefed, the technical setup takes minutes. Ideal for meetings with shorter notice periods.
Global Participation
Participants join from any location in the world. Your team in New York, your Chinese partners in Guangzhou, your interpreter in Foshan — all in the same session with seamless language switching.
Same Certified Interpreters
RSI does not mean lower-quality interpreters. We use the same AIIC, CATTI, and NAATI certified professionals for remote work as we do for in-person events — properly briefed and prepared.
Recorded with Interpreted Audio
Remote sessions can be recorded with the interpreted language track included — useful for compliance documentation, post-meeting review, or sharing with colleagues who could not attend live.
Secure for Sensitive Meetings
Investor calls, board meetings, and M&A discussions require discretion. All interpreters sign NDAs. We can recommend encrypted platform options for sessions with confidentiality requirements.
Not all video conferencing platforms are equal for China-based meetings. This matters — the wrong platform choice can result in connection failures on the Chinese side.
✅ Tencent Meeting (Recommended)
- Most stable platform for mainland China participants
- Enterprise version supports simultaneous interpretation channels
- Widely used across Chinese corporate environments
- Best choice when Chinese side is connecting from mainland China
⚠️ Zoom (Use With Caution)
- Business and Enterprise tiers support native simultaneous interpretation
- Stable connection
- Built-in simultaneous interpreting feature, including relay.
⚠️ Microsoft Teams
- No native simultaneous interpretation channel
- Requires third-party RSI platform integration (Akkadu)
- Accessible from mainland China but may be slow
- Suitable for teams already using Teams — with RSI add-on
✅ RSI Dedicated Platforms
- Akkadu — designed specifically for RSI
- Work alongside any video conferencing platform
- Ideal for large international events with multiple language streams
- We set up and manage the RSI platform on your behalf
- Most reliable for high-stakes professional events
RSI delivery is streamlined — but preparation is still the key to quality.
