ABSTRACT:
A remote simultaneous interpretation system particularly suitable for oral communication between a doctor and patient who do not speak a common language includes a user station equipped with a first and second headsets and microphones, a remote simultaneous interpretation system also equipped with a headset and a microphone and an audio link operatively interconnecting the stations. The simultaneous interpreter station includes controls for routing incoming and outgoing signals from and to separate portions of the user station, thereby allowing the remotely located interpreter to listen to either the doctor, the patient or both and to route voiced interpreter signals to the doctor, the patient or both. The use of simultaneous interpretation reduces the language barrier between a doctor and a patient, thereby improving rapport and overcoming social and/or cultural barriers to providing medical care.
