What Is Video Remote Interpretation?

Video Remote Interpretation connects participants with a professional interpreter through a live video connection.

Unlike telephone interpretation, video allows everyone involved to see one another while communicating in real time.

This creates a more natural communication experience while retaining the flexibility and speed of remote service delivery.

VRI is particularly valuable when:

  • Visual communication is important
  • Immediate access is needed
  • Travel is impractical
  • Interpreter availability is limited
  • Multiple locations must participate
  • Accessibility accommodations are required
