Video Remote Translating
Interpreters Unlimited’s Video Remote Translation (VRI) is ideal for those who do not have the time or budget to schedule an on-site translator. Utilizing this service will enable communication with patients or clients who have limited English proficiency or who are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing when a translator is not physically present.
Video translation services are growing in popularity because of the simplicity and convenience. This technology enables hospitals, legal firms, and other businesses to service their client or patient when an in-person translator is not available. Our technology is HIPAA-compliant and cloud-based and comes with a user-friendly interface so office staff can quickly set-up the remote appointment(s). This ease of availability is especially important under unexpected or emergency circumstances.
During VRI appointments, interpretation occurs consecutively. Consecutive translation is when the translator listens to what is said before converting to the target language. This translating method is best suited for smaller groups because of the stop-and-go flow of conversation.
ODI – On-Demand Translator – combines the visual aspect of in-person translation with the convenience of remote translation, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for clients who require (or prefer) face-to-face communication with the linguist.
