Services
Gerard Francois provides both interpretation and voice-over services.
Interpretation
Simultaneous Interpretation
It is the preferred mode, with booths and electronic equipment including transmitters and receivers. It is ideal for groups larger than 10.
He can provide links with equipment companies, such as CSI and ASET.
Simultaneous interpretation is faster and allows the possibility of multiple languages.
Simultaneous equipment follows ISO standards.

Allows interpretation between a handful of participants, . The interpreter takes notes and reads them after the speaker stops. It allows the speaker to hear his speech a second time, is very precise, but takes longer.
