See and hear your interpreter as if they were sitting next to you
We have a team of language experts on hand who can meet and exceed the exact expectations of your organization. Our Video Remote Interpretation service provides all the benefits of an in-person experience at a fraction of the cost.
How It Works
At Bilingual Connections we understand the important contribution of facial expression to communication. Seeing the speaker gives you and your customer, student, client or patient access to the visual cues and contexts that make our interactions more personable and more accurate.
This is why we have pioneered a service that goes well beyond traditional telephone interpretation without the logistical hassle or the expense of in-person appointments.
No complicated equipment is required: with only internet access, a cell phone or a computer with a webcam, you can access our Video Remote Interpretation service and be sure that everyone can see the interpreter and feel confident that your client has understood what was said.
The Benefits of Video Remote Interpretation to Organizations
Many organizations choose to use our VRI services because they fit somewhere between telephone and in-person interpretation options. The convenience of 24-hour, instant access, combined with the personable touch of visual communication makes Video Remote Interpretation the ideal solution for many businesses and groups.
On Demand
On-demand access to our expert interpreters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year!
For most of us, life moves fast and in so many cases urgent and unplanned situations often arise that have immediate need for interpreters to provide instant language support. For this reason, and to give you complete peace of mind, at Bilingual Connections we have developed a robust and advanced Video Remote Interpretation service that ensures that we can be there for you and your clients day and night, every day and night.
Instant Response
When you need urgent interpretation urgently, we provide VRI solutions often within just minutes.
Connect to an interpreter in any language without the need to schedule an appointment. Organizations who use our Video Remote Interpretation services don’t let language barriers hold up communication with their clients or patients.
Value for Money
It’s no longer necessary to choose between visual support and budget when it comes to using an interpreter.
In the past the only way to see your interpreter was to book an in-person session with a minimum charge and potential travel costs on top. Bilingual Connections uses VRI to give you that in-person experience without the extra bill that usually comes with it.
When To Use It
There are many occasions when the use of this system is appropriate. Some of the most demand comes from the healthcare sector where doctors, nurses and therapists frequently need to communicate sensitive, life or death matters to patients who speak other languages or who are deaf. These situations call for the added humanity of a face to face interpreter but arise too urgently to organize a physical visit. The video option that Bilingual Connections offers has revolutionized communication under these circumstances.
It’s not just medical services that are making use of this service. Businesses in all industry sectors that are located in hard to reach areas or that need to deal with non-English speaking partners and customers, have embraced VRI for meetings, consultations and any other interactions where relationship building is based on mutual understanding.
Platforms Available
Our state-of-the-art app enables our customers to access our service instantly no matter where they are or what their language needs are.
