The Pro of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)

Instant – With the touch of a button to a VRI service, one can have an interpreter there to translate from visual language to spoken language and vice versa. These services are available 24 hours a day and are often available on-demand. Many of these services also provide language translation services, so that nearly anyone that needs to is able to communicate instantly. One place where this need is extreme is in emergency rooms around the world. When someone arrives needing medical care, but they are deaf or hard-of-hearing or speak another language, it can be a matter of life or death for them to be able to communicate with doctors and nurses about their condition.

Video conference interpreting conveniently provides instant video access to accredited interpreters around the country. With video interpreting services, you receive a highly qualified professional who can facilitate face-to-face communication when physical presence is impossible.

Trained Professionals – VRI is done by trained professionals who are able to communicate well and thoroughly every time. Having content specialists in the translating role is important as well. Again, in an emergency medical situation, someone who knows medical terminology and is able to translate it well can be vital. Also, a trained professional will understand cultural differences and norms that need to be observed. When providing a service, one doesn’t want to offend a patient or client.

Unobtrusive – In the case of events like a business meeting, VRI can appear as simply another person in the meeting. The interpreter is there to translate what is said and then can speak whenever the deaf attendee needs to be able to communicate. Modern video technology would even allow them to have a tablet or smartphone with the interpreter on it, so that their translation services are invisible to most of the attendees.
