Video Remote Interpreting is the latest trend in the language industry. Using a device connected to the internet such as smartphones, tablets, or computers, VRI allows to access interpreters from all over the globe and have them translated in real-time.
This new technology offers many advantages to the client in terms of quality and cost-efficiency.
Advantages
VRI has many advantages on multiple levels:
-
Cost reduction:
Not having an interpreter on-site means to save all the expenses for travel and accommodation and tech support.
-
No special equipment needed:
Traditional interpreting might require the installation of interpreter booths and infrared headsets with the supervision of a tech team. VRI operates on a platform available on common devices such as PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
-
Video stream:
Traditional remote interpreting consisted of over-the-phone dialogues. This way, the interpreter misses important visual cues that can indicate more precisely the original message of the speakers (namely facial expressions).
-
Wide choice of interpreters:
Since interpreters can work with VRI from all over the world, the service quality does not depend on the availability of nearby professionals, but rather on a vast network of linguists, also working with rare languages.
-
No need to plan in advance:
Thanks to a 24/7 working platform, clients do not need to always book interpreters in advance and can easily tackle urgent language needs.
Situations Where VRI Makes the Difference
Video Remote Interpreting is a great ally of organizations such as hospitals, airports, courts, and hotels, which work with the public and regularly deal with unpredictable situations. The possibility to reach for an interpreter within a few seconds, without needing advance notice, guarantees immediate assistance while needed, even the last minute. For the same reasons, VRI is also a great solution for corporate and business meetings.
