The fourth tier of interpreters and the fourth- highest paid in the field of linguists. The speakers concerned make short speeches of a few sentences while the interpreter actively listens and making quick structured notes. The speaker concerned stop speaking and the interpreters then interpret what has been said to the audience by reading their notes. The interpreters may sometimes use a microphone. Keeping pace with the speaker is essential. The interpreters are usually sitting close to the speakers concerned. The interpreters must be trained to write fast, understand their notes, communicate, and engage with the audience in the same way as the speakers concerned.
