Video Remote Interpretation

When an interpreter is needed, an in-person interpreter is generally preferred.  However, an in-person translator may be unavailable due to scheduling or budget.

If you need an interpreter right away, video remote interpretation is a great option.

At Metaphrasis, we provide video remote interpretation (VRI) services in the Chicago, IL area and throughout the U.S.  With these services, you can instantly come into contact with a remote interpreter who can help you provide service and care to those with limited English proficiency as well as those who are deaf of hard of hearing.

Our remote interpreters over Zoom and other platforms will pick up on non-verbal cues and consider context and meaning to provide accurate translations.

On Demand Video Remote Interpretation(VRI Interpreting)

We will provide you with one-touch access to a trained interpreter directly on your PC, Mac, smartphone, or tablet.

We also provide conference interpreting services for large events hosted over Zoom or other virtual meeting platforms.

Remote Interpreting Any Time

Our video interpreting services are convenient and can be accessed on a variety of devices so long as you have an internet connection.  This means that you will not need to invest in additional equipment or technology if you already have an internet connected smartphone, tablet, laptop, or desktop computer.

Our remote interpreting services are also a cost-effective option as you will get you quick and reliable access to a skilled interpreter, often for less than the cost of an in-person interpreter.  The face to face nature of video remote interpretation adds a personal touch and helps ensure accurate interpretation.

If you need an interpreter on demand, Metaphrasis can help with our video remote interpretation services.  We can put you in contact with a professional interpreter in the Chicago, IL area and anywhere throughout the United States.

Video Remote Interpreting: Your Opportunities

With VRI, you communicate effectively with anyone worldwide. It’s a valuable tool that works across a range of settings. Here are some examples:

• Healthcare: Support patients through doctor’s visits, mental health counseling, and emergency care. You can ensure every patient receives the care they need in the language they understand best.
• Legal Settings: You can provide real-time client interpretation during consultations, court proceedings, or depositions, ensuring fair and clear communication.
• Business: In international meetings, presentations, or negotiations, VRI lets you connect with global partners in their native languages, promoting trust and understanding.
• Education: You can support students and families with limited English proficiency during parent-teacher conferences, enrollment processes, or administrative meetings.
• Customer Service: Respond to inquiries, complaints, and support requests in multiple languages, showing clients worldwide that they’re valued.
• Special Needs: Hearing and deaf participants can benefit from video interpreting because sign language is more accessible on a video relay service.

Choosing the Right VRI Service

Choosing the right language provider makes the entire process easier. Here’s what you need to consider when making your choice:

• Expert Interpreters: The interpreters you work with should be fluent in the required language and possess subject matter expertise in your relevant industry, be it healthcare, business, education, or legal.
• Language Availability: Your language partner should offer a wide range of languages, including less common ones, so you’re never left scrambling for a qualified interpreter.
• Confidential and Secure: Conversations in the medical and legal industries often include sensitive, personal, or private information. Ensure your VRI provider uses a secure platform that complies with privacy and data security requirements.
• Provides Support: Your language provider should provide robust technical support to ensure seamless communication during your VRI sessions, not outsource tech support to a third party.

You need a smart device with a video camera, screen, and a strong internet connection to access a video remote interpreter. Many prefer Zoom interpretation services, but we use any web-based video platform. We also offer the option of our unique platform.
