Sight Translation
Immediate oral translation of contracts, affidavits, records, and other documents.
An Interpreter Translates Your Document Out Loud, Live
Overview
Immediate Understanding, Without a Written Translation
Sight translation is the oral counterpart to written translation. A qualified interpreter reads a document in one language and translates it aloud, in real time, without producing a written document. It is used whenever a document needs to be understood immediately—evidence introduced during a hearing, a contract reviewed on the spot, a record explained during intake.
Delivery is available on-site or by video remote. Sight translation is not an AI mode; it requires a qualified human interpreter.
