1. An apparatus comprising: at least one processor; at least one memory coupled to said at least one processor; a network coupled to said at least one processor; a control interface coupled to said at least one processor via a network; at least one audio input mechanism communicatively coupled to said control interface, said at least one audio input mechanism being configured to capture at least one audio signal; at least one user-controllable video input mechanism coupled to said network, said at least one user-controllable video input mechanism being configured to capture at least one video signal thereby allowing an interpreter to monitor at least one facial characteristic of a speaker; an audio output mechanism, said audio output mechanism being configured to output a translated audio signal; and a user interface, said user interface being configured to provide user-controllable routing of said at least one audio signal and said at least one video signal, thereby routing said at least one audio signal and said at least one video signal to a remote location for translation purposes, said translated audio signal being routed to isolated headsets by said translator when interpreting into a foreign language.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said at least one audio signal comprises an audio signal transmitted in a first language, wherein said at least one audio signal is transmitted to a remote location and is translated to a second language and captured by a second audio input device, thereby creating a translated audio signal and said translated audio signal is then transmitted to a point of origination for said at least one audio signal.
