Telephonic interpreting? Jul 9, 2016

Yes, only simultaneous, booth type interpreting may work as telephonic, provided they use top quality equipment. Other types of serious interpreting cannot be done over the phone. I think the accuracy would be very low, like below 50%.

I feel that interpretation accuracy below 50% disqualifies the good interpretation, or starts serious mistakes in many situations.
