31 How to get the best from your interpreters Speak at a reasonable pace, 120 wpm or foresee one written page for a 2 minute intervention. Speed is one the main challenges when communicating. Intepreters listen, process and speak at the same time. In order to convey your message, high sound quality is required. Thus
32 Communicate Provide any speeches, speaking notes, presentations or documents to the interpreters. On the day via the Meeting Service Assistants and also in advance to: Present and communicate. If a native speaker listening live cannot follow, neither can delegates listening through interpretation. Think about being interpreted, allow time for a reaction and for the interpreters to finish with a 4-11 second time lag.
33 Remote participation and Videoconferences Standard Operating Procedure for Arranging Interpretation of Videoconferences Please indicate your intention to schedule a VC well in advance to your organizer. Sound and image tests with interpreters and technical services Not all rooms equipped with necessary technology VC equipment of a minimum quality required if not, risk of failure is high
34 Please Avoid Omnidirectional microphones, as they pick up too much noise Phone or Skype links as sound quality is insufficient Please Remember To always mute your microphone whenever you are not speaking Remote participation should be requested well in advance to ensure: you have a properly equipped room and; a sound check can be conducted with interpreters.
35 Précis-writing at the United Nations
36 Summary records at UNOG What is a summary record?

48 Opportunities Accessibility
49 Captioning Remote captioning can be provided in English, French, Spanish and Russian Outsourced through companies holding a contract with Procurement Use of technological equipment enabling picture-in-picture streaming (i.e. mix the different images such as sign language interpreters and captioning to be streamed into the Webcast) Future challenge would be to identify on the market a voice recognition software which can be managed locally
50 Sign language interpretation International Sign Language provided by accredited Free lance interpreters; National Sign Language can also be provided to Treaty body meetings depending on State requests (country reviews); Please contact relevant secretariat to inform them of such requests in good time; Delegations could assist in identifying National Sign interpreters; Closed captioning (max 2 languages due to physical constraints) also complements Sign Language; Same conditions and dos and don'ts as for spoken interpretation.
51 Accessible documentation: making sure no one is left behind : Pilot project to adapt core CRPD documents into plain English (outsourcing). 2018: One document adapted in-house as an ad hoc reasonable accommodation for a member of CRPD. Plain language makes information accessible for a wide audience Easy Read makes information accessible for persons with intellectual disabilities
