Who's behind it

Hi, I'm Maksim. Write to me directly

Maksim Mirosvetly, Director of Product, SIMULTAN

Our team has provided simultaneous interpretation for international events since 2015. Now we are building a platform where interpreters get invitations to events in their languages without hunting for gigs.

I know you get plenty of offers from companies you have never heard of. So here is my promise: we never charge interpreters, there is no exclusivity, and your data is deleted after one email.

What interpreters ask

Answers about payment, the contract and working from home

We'll answer in person

Email us at hello@simultan.io and a manager will answer

Email us
Is this a job or a side gig?

It is work on specific events under a services contract. You join the SIMULTAN interpreter pool, and we invite you when an event with your languages and subject comes up. You work from home and decide which invitations to accept

Who pays and when?

SIMULTAN pays you after the event. You don't wait for the client or the agency to settle: the money comes from us under the contract

What kind of contract?

A contract for interpreting services with SINKOM CORPORATION FZCO, our company in Dubai. It pays you after the event

Who sees my rate?

Only the SIMULTAN team. Organizers and other interpreters don't see it. We take your rate into account when selecting interpreters for an event

What happens after I email you?

A manager contacts you, confirms your languages and subjects and sends you access to your account. There you can update your rates, subjects and work format at any time

What do I need to work from home?

A laptop, a headset with a microphone, a stable internet connection, preferably wired, and a quiet room. No software to install: the booth opens from a link in your browser

Can I work without a booth partner?

Short broadcasts can be done solo. On long ones you work in a pair: the shift is handed over with one button, and a timer shows how long you have been on air

Can I see the speaker when interpreting from home?

Yes, the video from the venue goes straight to your booth. You see the speaker during the talk and balance the speaker and your partner with a single slider

What happens after you apply

From application to your first invitation: four steps

  1. Try the booth

    A demo with no sign-up: speaker, booth partner, handover and the back channel, just like at a real event
