چکیده :
With the expansion of digital technologies and online platforms, remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI) has become a prevalent and practical method. This type of interpretation, conducted through video conferences and online communication software, allows interpreters to perform simultaneous translation from different geographical locations without the need for physical presence. However, RSI faces specific challenges that do not exist in face-to-face interpretation, including maintaining focus and accuracy in the absence of physical and non-verbal interaction, as well as technical issues such as sound delays, network interruptions, and poor audio quality. This research, using a qualitative method through semi-structured interviews with three experienced interpreters, examines the psychological challenges and differences between remote and in-person interpretation. The findings indicate that even experienced interpreters require specialized training to transition to RSI. Managing attention resources, implementing preventive, supportive, and compensatory strategies to cope with emotional challenges, and managing technical problems are key factors for success in RSI.
