Japanese–English Remote Simultaneous Interpretation
for Zoom, Teams & Hybrid Events
Professional simultaneous interpretation delivered online — no need to fly an interpreter to Vegas. Connect your Japan-HQ participants and your on-site room seamlessly, across time zones.
When RSI Beats Flying an Interpreter to Vegas
Remote Simultaneous Interpretation (RSI) delivers real-time, booth-style simultaneous interpretation over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or a dedicated RSI platform — no physical hardware, no travel. In these situations, RSI is the clear winner over sending an interpreter on-site:
Run a simultaneous booth in your Vegas room while executives and engineers back in Japan join online — both sides hear live interpretation.
You don't need to fly an interpreter to Las Vegas for a 90-minute webinar or board call. With RSI you book only the hours you actually need.
Leverage the JST–PST gap to rotate interpreter teams for genuine 24/7 coverage across Japan and the US West Coast.
Whether it's a few days' lead time or an online-first deal room, we stand up simultaneous interpretation fast.
We match the setup to the shape of your event
Zoom / Teams Simultaneous
Using Zoom's language-interpretation channels or Microsoft Teams interpretation, attendees simply choose to listen in Japanese or English.
Hybrid (On-Site + Remote)
We run a simultaneous booth in your Las Vegas venue while streaming the same interpreted audio to remote Japan-HQ participants — one unified production.
Dedicated RSI Platforms
For large conferences we also operate on purpose-built RSI platforms such as Interprefy and KUDO.
Webinars & Internal Broadcasts
Add live simultaneous interpretation to product launches, IR briefings, and global all-hands streams.
Relay Interpretation (Multilingual)
For multilingual events, we relay through Japanese as the pivot language into additional target languages.
Recording & Subtitle Transcripts
We can capture the interpreted audio and produce translated subtitles for your post-event archive.

Remote Simultaneous Interpretation FAQ
What is remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI)?
RSI delivers booth-style simultaneous interpretation in real time over Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or a dedicated RSI platform. Attendees simply select the language they want to hear (Japanese or English) and listen along almost in sync with the speaker.
Should I fly an interpreter to Vegas or use RSI?
For online-first events, hybrid meetings where Japan-HQ joins remotely, and short webinars or board calls, RSI wins on travel cost and time. For large in-person trade shows where everyone is on the floor, on-site interpretation can be the better fit. NihonVegas offers both and will recommend the right setup.
How much does RSI cost?
A single session runs from $1,000 for up to two hours, a full-day package is $3,500, and recurring programs use a custom monthly retainer. Professional simultaneous interpretation is staffed by a rotating pair of interpreters as standard.
Do you support Zoom and Microsoft Teams?
Yes. We work with Zoom's language-interpretation channels and Microsoft Teams interpretation, and for larger events we also operate on dedicated RSI platforms such as Interprefy and KUDO.
Can you cover events across the Japan–US time difference?
Yes. We leverage the gap between Japan Standard Time and US Pacific Time to rotate interpreter teams for genuine 24/7 coverage, supporting multi-day events that span multiple time zones.
Can you provide legal or medical simultaneous interpretation?
No — legal and medical interpretation require specialized credentials, so we do not offer them. We focus on corporate interpretation: business meetings, product launches, IR briefings, technical webinars, and negotiations.
