Consecutive interpreting by video or phone for conversations where accuracy matters more than speed: supplier negotiations, quality complaints, engineering troubleshooting, remote factory audits and warranty disputes. I prepare. Send me your agenda, drawings, part numbers and any prior correspondence at least two days ahead and I will come in knowing your vocabulary. An interpreter who has to ask what a part is called during a defect discussion costs you more time than the preparation would have. I interpret consecutively, not simultaneously, which is the right mode for technical calls. It is slower, and it is the reason nobody walks away from the call with a different understanding of what was agreed. I will also tell you afterwards when I think something was said that you did not hear, because Japanese business language carries a lot of refusal inside polite agreement. Two hour minimum. Available for early morning Pacific to reach Japan business hours, which is most of what this work is. Onsite interpreting in San Diego County possible, ask for a quote. Rate shown is per hour. Preparation time up to one hour is included.
