ANT provides a full range of Interpretation Services. These are:

A Consecutive interpreter delivers the message in a target language after the keynote speaker has finished talking. Usually the speaker pauses after every sentence to enable the interpreter to render his translation. The source message can be presented in parts or as a whole. Consecutive interpretation allows the interpreter a certain amount of input as well as the opportunity to take notes. Although this is a time consuming process, it delivers a higher degree of accuracy and completeness in the translation.

Consecutive Interpreting is needed in the following circumstances:-

Community Interpreting
Court and Legal Interpreting
Conference Telephone Call Interpreting
Accompany Interpreting
Whispered Interpreting

A Simultaneous interpreter interprets for an individual or a group in a target language while the speaker speaks without interruption. Although consecutive interpretation is often considered to be more accurate of the two, simultaneous interpreting is much more time efficient. It is for this reason simultaneous interpreting is one of the most common forms of interpretation. It is also the most difficult form. There are very few such translators. Not all interpreters can do it well.

Simultaneous interpretation is a real-time skill. There are no second chances once the moment is lost.

The peculiarity of simultaneous interpreting evolves the necessity to engage some, two at the minimum, interpreters at a time. None of the simultaneous interpreters can interpret alone all event on end.

Simultaneous Interpreters work in a pair in an interpreter booth equipped with microphones, infrared transmitter and headphones. The audience receives the message in a target language through the headsets.

Simultaneous Interpreting is needed in the following circumstances:-

Conference Interpreting
Whispered Interpreting
Sign Language Interpreting

A General Interpreter performs his job in a consecutive mode. Under different circumstances, the interpreter can deliver the message either in oral or written form.

General Interpreting includes:-

Sight Interpreting

Sign Language interpreting is for any situation requiring communication between hearing and deaf persons. While simultaneous interpreting is relatively new with regard to spoken language interpretation, it is more or less traditional in signed language interpretation. The difference between signed language and spoken language interpreting underscores the fact that signed language interpreter often work between different modes. Spoken language interpreting involves the rendering of messages between two spoken languages. Signed language interpreting actually involves one signed and one spoken language. The circumstances faced by signed language interpreters are not only inter-lingual, but inter-modal as well.

ANT transcription and translation services are becoming increasingly important as we globalize. The need for accurate documentations is a necessity, especially in the legal and medical fields. We provide transcription and translation services to all industries including legal, medical, business, research, educational, sports and media interviews.

Transcription is a longer process than translation. Normally you do not know how many words are used in your audio or video interviews until they have been transcribed.

Our experience showed that in English, a recorded interview of one hour between two persons would generate about 6000 spoken words; and a dictated piece of audio would create between 8000 and 10000 spoken words.

These estimates are based on English words. Other European languages use longer words and would have fewer words per hour. Similarly, Asian languages use shorter words and therefore the spoken word count is higher.

Editing is the process of preparing language through correction, condensation, organization and other modifications in various media.

A person who edits is called an editor. The editing process originates with the idea for the work itself and continues in the relationship between the author and the editor. Editing is a practice that includes creative skills, human relations, and a precise set of methods.

A Native Translation has been providing excellent editing services to clients with documents that have been written by experts in their specialized fields but who are not practice writers. ANT editors have sharp eyes for details. They are experienced in polishing up the languages to give the manuscripts a professional finish.

Proofreading means reading a proof copy of a text document in order to detect and correct any errors before delivery to your audience. Proofreading is an acquired skill.

ANT has been offering outstanding proofreading services to clients who wish to have their documents proofread and prepared for publication before final printing. Our skilled proofreaders will ensure that any errors that have slipped during the layout process be corrected in time.

Project Management is a positive action-packed activity to get things done and get on with it. The practice has placed responsibility for action, movement and progress at the lowest feasible level.

ANT has a strict and clear project management procedure to determine the exact work flow for all stages of a job, from the moment the source document is received to the moment the translated file is sent back to the client. The larger a company is, the greater the detail is required for each phase description in order to make certain that all team members have a complete and similar understanding of the work scope and purposes.
