What is Telephone Interpretation and When is the Best Time to Use It?:
Telephone interpretation connects you and the limited-English proficient (LEP) individual you’re interacting with to a professional interpreter via the telephone. Telephone interpretation is extremely effective when you have an LEP individual who needs immediate attention or when you have a relatively simple exchange that needs to take place quickly and efficiently. Telephone interpreters convert the source language into the target language which enables everyone to understand each other despite not being able to speak the same language. Consecutive interpretation is the mode of interpretation used over the phone, this means the interpreter listens to the person speak, waits until the speaker is finished then renders the content into the target language. This is done back and forth until all of the information has been exchanged.
What Are the Advantages That Telephone Interpretation Provide?
- Telephone interpretation is extremely helpful when individuals are located in a geographical location that is hard to get to. It gives everyone an opportunity to effectively communicate with people who do not speak the same language, regardless of where they are located in the world.
- Telephone interpretation is very convenient, it allows for a connection to be made with a professional interpreter for pre-scheduled or on-demand appointments with wait times as low as two minutes or less.
- Telephone interpreters are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, the time zone you’re in will not affect the ability to connect with a telephone interpreter.
- Telephone interpretation allows you to connect with an interpreter in over 350 languages and dialects.
How Will I Be Charged for Professional Telephone Interpretation Services?:
Telephone interpretation is a very cost effective remote language service due to the fact you’re only paying for the time spent on the telephone with the interpreter. There are no minimum hourly charges associated with telephone interpretation and you are not required to pay for the gas used and milage accrued, which are charges associated with on-site interpretation. Basically you are only paying for the time you spend connected with the interpreter.
