The types of simultaneous interpreting include:
Consecutive Interpreting
This form of interpreting requires a desk in a quiet area. The interpreter will be required to interpret simultaneously. They will not be required to write anything down, though the complexity of the task involves the interpreter repeating the conversation in the source language within sections of the target language.
Sequential Interpreting
In sequential interpreting, the interpreter has time to understand and analyze the conversation, ensuring that the proper meaning is captured. The interpreter waits until the speaker has finished talking before the interpretation starts. The interpreter is usually within the same location as the conversation participants to ensure dialogue understanding.
Whispering Interpreting
Special interpreting equipment is used in this type. The interpreter can hear the speaker, interprets the dialogue, and then whispers it to the person or audience in the target language.
Conference Interpreting
Most conferences utilize simultaneous interpreting because it allows participants from multiple nationalities to communicate effectively and immediately, thus eliminating any language barrier.
Community Interpreting (Liaison)
This is similar to conference interpreting, though the session is on a smaller scale.

Legal Interpreting (Courtrooms)
This form of legal interpretation takes place at courts or within legal agencies. It focuses on law, and judgments; it may include multiple types of cases. It is generally legal dialogue and therefore requires an interpreter who has legal knowledge.
Commercial Interpreting

Medical Interpreting
Medical interpreting can involve many scenarios, including emergency room services, lap work for complicated operations, and routine doctor visits. The interpreting may also be referred to as hospital interpreting or healthcare interpreting. There is also another category, known as legal medical interpreting.
Educational Interpreting
Educational interpreting is typically used in classrooms where students don’t have the ability to understand or speak the native language used within the class. This type of interpretation is gaining popularity for sign language and is also used between parents and teachers.
