The Experience
Having a whispered interpreter by your side allows you to participate fully in events conducted in another language. You receive the information in real-time while maintaining your composure and presence, without the distraction of headsets or delays.

Chuchotage works particularly well alongside business chaperonage for trade fairs and business trips. For more formal meeting settings, consecutive interpreting offers an alternative approach.
Testimonials
What clients say
"Stefania was outstanding with her swift service translating my estratto dell'atto following my marriage in Italy. I required my marriage certificate to be translated to English for a UK passport change of name. Within 2 hours I had a response with the service she could provide and within 48 hours I had the necessary translation document in my emails. Thank you Stefania!"
"Stefania was recommended to us by one of her previous clients - and what a great recommendation! We were looking for a professional native speaker to check a manuscript for a new vocabulary resource we published for IB Diploma learners. Stefania did a wonderful job, tightly following our brief and providing her carefully-considered corrections clearly so that they were easy for the editor to implement. Her work was always submitted promptly and she kept in regular touch. Thank you, Stefania - we wouldn't hesitate to work with you again!"
"I worked with Stefania on an Italian vocabulary revision book for an educational publisher: she read the MSS and checked proofs. She responded quickly to various queries about the language, advising in a way that was always clear and helpful. She did a good thorough job and was a pleasure to work with, and I'd certainly recommend her for proofreading and/or Italian language checking."
