Benefits of remote interpreting have become more relevant than ever this year. Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus in the United States in mid-February, businesses, the government, and the entire medical system face challenges like never before. Although Covid-19 dominates many of the headlines, chronic medical conditions need care and court cases need adjudicating. Likewise, government agencies need to ensure essential utilities like water and electricity continue to flow. That is why now, in the midst of a pandemic, OnDemand© Over the Phone Interpreting (OPI) and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) are more important than ever. Although in-person translation services are very helpful, in a time of social distancing and face masks, OPI and VRI provide a safer and more efficient alternative for the medical, legal, government, and business communities.
With OPI and VRI services, the safety benefits of remote interpreting are clear. All interpreting work can be done in a manner that follows the safety protocols put out by the CDC and all other city, state and local governments. Since the interpreting is done over the phone, all parties involved are protected from human contact, thus completely avoiding the risk of contracting covid-19.
Our need for language services has not ceased, even though our country continues to address challenges connected to the pandemic:
The United States comprises a diverse tapestry of people from many different ethnicities who speak hundreds of different languages. Some individuals and families have been in this country for generations, and some people are recent arrivals. Nevertheless, lack of language proficiency does not preclude American residents from taking advantage of the governmental, legal, medical, and business services that they require.
Our OnDemand© OPI system uses a professional, easy to navigate interface that is accessible by mobile app or web portal for your convenience. Our VRI system is equally user-friendly, and simply requires clicking VRI instead of OPI on the client interface to access it. If you would prefer to use a landline, then that service is available as well.
All of our OPI and VRI interpreters:
