Remote Multilingual Interpretation Services on Webex
Cisco Webex is a popular videoconferencing platform relied upon by businesses around the world. Our Trusted Translations team can help you make the best use of Webex’s special remote interpretation features to meet your multilingual needs.
Professional Interpretation for Meetings and Webinars
California-based SaaS (software as a service) company Webex was founded in 1995, so it’s had a long time to hone its videoconferencing products—with excellent results. As of 2022, Cisco Webex is the most popular cloud calling provider in the world, supporting more than 39 million cloud calling users around the globe.
As the preferred product of many international businesses, Webex has an impressive set of features designed specifically for remote simultaneous interpretation. As a host, you can easily enable simultaneous interpretation for a meeting, manage new language channels and assign interpreters during meetings, and even pre-assign interpreters in Webex Meetings and Webinars (but not in a Personal Room). Interpreters during the meeting are designated by a special symbol.Benefits of Cisco Webex Multilingual Meetings
