Interpreters: booking remote interpreting sessions online

Remote interpreting fills the gaps between on-site assignments: a 30-minute video call, a weekly team meeting, a client interview. Let clients book those sessions online in your free hours, with the language pair and platform in the note. Each slot leaves your page once booked, and you join every call prepared.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description shown on your public page, and each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity. Give each slot one place.

Durations and prices are examples: set your own.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the client's calendar file. Ask for the language pair, the platform used and the subject. Ask for documents by email rather than in the note.

Book doesn't create video links. Say in the description whether the client sends the meeting invitation, or whether you send your link by email after the booking.

Interpreting is tiring. Leave a gap between slots for a break and to prepare the next call. Slots repeat each week on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so a pattern of sessions with breaks takes minutes to set up.

For a weekly team meeting, book the recurring sessions yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; if you enter the client's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session.

Slots of different services can overlap on Book, so keep remote slots and on-site assignments on different hours or days, so a remote booking can't land during an on-site day.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and rescheduling works across services. Book doesn't email clients about changes, sends no reminders and doesn't take payments. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
