Remote simultaneous interpreting: the future of multilingual events without borders
Organising a multilingual event no longer requires on-site interpreters, physical booths or complicated technical set-ups. With remote simultaneous interpreting, you can provide professional interpreting services for hybrid, virtual or in-person events, connecting interpreters and attendees from anywhere via a web browser. This is exactly what Olyusei offers: a fast, high-quality solution with no downloads required.
What is remote simultaneous interpreting?
Remote simultaneous interpreting (RSI) enables interpreters to work from remote locations whilst listening to the speaker in real time and relaying the interpretation to attendees via an online platform. There are no pauses or interruptions, and each user receives only the language channel they need.
With Olyusei, this technology is integrated directly into the browser, with no apps or additional installations required.
Key advantages of this approach
| Advantage | Description |
| Lower cost | Travel, accommodation and physical infrastructure costs are eliminated. |
| Greater flexibility and speed | Interpreting services can be arranged at short notice, even for last-minute events. |
| Access to international interpreters | You can work with specialists in any language, without having to rely on a local interpreter. |
| Scalability and multiple channels | Events involving multiple languages or parallel sessions do not pose any technical problems. |
| Sustainability | Less travel means a smaller carbon footprint and a more environmentally friendly approach. |
A look at the market and trends
The remote interpreting market is showing very strong growth: RSI is projected to grow from around USD 1.2 billion in 2024 to over USD 3.5 billion by 2033 (estimated CAGR ~15.8%). Furthermore, virtual and hybrid events are driving this demand, as more and more organisers are opting for global formats.
This reinforces the view that investing in RSI solutions is not just about innovation, but a long-term strategy.
Use cases and applications
- Conferences with speakers and attendees spread across the globe

Best practices for successful implementation
- 1. Carry out technical tests in advance to assess connections, latency and compatibility.
- 2. Ensure that interpreters use suitable equipment (microphone, headphones, quiet environment).
- 3. Coordinate the language channels and provide attendees with a user guide in advance.
- 4. Have technical support available during the event to resolve issues in real time.
- 5. Configure the network infrastructure to prioritise audio bandwidth and minimise interference and latency.
