It is my pleasure to recommend Fabienne Coupe for her services.
Fabienne has been working on several assignment on VoiceBoxer remote simultaneous
interpretation platform since June 2016. During this time Fabienne has worked on English to French assignments on several topics (Socio-political, Health, Compliance) for our NGO and Corporate customers and has gained a lot of exposure to remote simultaneous interpretation. Our customers have been really satisfied with her interpretation skills and we have been really
satisfied in working with her.

Fabienne is always very accurate, and has dealt with complex and highly confidential documents, which always came back perfect. She is very professional and always answers queries promptly and efficiently. She is a good member of our team of translators, and is very hard working and dedicated.

We had favourable feedback from our client about the work of the whole multilingual team of interpreters during the conference. I also had positive feedback about Fabienne's work, in particular from the French/English interpreter, who worked closely with her.

Fabienne has been working with us as a freelance French and Italian interpreter since 2006, working in the law courts. We have found her to be punctual and very reliable, and clients have often praised her services. We would very highly recommend Fabienne.

From my work as an interpreter relations-manager at InterprefyAG, I can say that Fabienne is very dedicated and reliable. Her self-reliance and more than usual good computer skills greatly helped her become popular as an online interpreter among our staff and end-users. I also appreciate Fabienne as a competent and ambitious interpreter. Since November 2017, Fabienne has acted as an online interpreter on our cloud-based platform Interprefy Event Pro.

She has proven her expert language skills in online and telephone interpreting. I therefore consider Fabienne to be absolutely suitable as an online interpreter, and would highly recommend working with her in the future.
