VRI Has Opened Many Doors in the Language Service Industry:
The language service industry developed a solution that utilizes telecommunication software in order to provide language services through an online platform that can be accessed by anyone anywhere. Video remote interpretation (VRI) connects you with an interpreter through a sophisticated web-based platform. The service is easy to use and can be pre-scheduled or used on-demand with wait times as low as five minutes. This innovative and modern twist on language services marries the benefits of on-site interpretation with the on-demand nature of telephone interpretation. Aspects such as body language and facial expressions play a large role in fully understanding the essence of a conversation, VRI keeps audio and visual aspects intact while reducing cost as well as wait times. VRI can be quite cost effective due to the fact that it’s charged by the minute, so you’re only paying for the time spent with the interpreter and you’re not held responsible for time waiting. VRI is being utilized in many facilities across the country such as hospitals, medical offices, mental health settings, higher education, court systems as well as business settings. Many industries are taking advantage of the benefits and features the technologically advanced language service provides. VRI is growing in popularity and allowing people to make efficient connections despite language and cultural diversities.
VRI is Great for Sign Language Interpretation:
The sheer fact that video remote interpreting allows people to connect and bridge communication gaps with individuals who communicate via sign language is monumental for the language service industry. No other remote interpretation service has the ability to do that. This solution provides opportunities to facilitate communication remotely for the deaf. VRI allows sign language interpreters and deaf individuals the ability to see facial expressions, body language, hand gestures and physical tendencies which are all major factors in understanding and communicating in sign language. VRI provides endless communication opportunities and positive interactions in many different settings for the Deaf community.
VRI is Great for Emergency Medical Situations:
It’s imperative doctors, nurses, dentists, specialists, therapists, and other health care providers are able to effectively communicate with patients despite language barriers. When there is a gap in communication, room for error increases substantially. Providing VRI in medical settings breaks down language barriers that put deaf and LEP patients at risk of receiving substandard medical treatment. VRI carts in medical facilities are simply iPads connected to carts on wheels that can be rolled around and are easily accessible. In cases of medical emergencies, a VRI cart can be brought in at time of patient arrival and a connection with an on-demand interpreter can be made within five minutes allowing information to begin to be collected. Time is critical in an emergency, this is why VRI is such a great asset when language barriers are faced in medical settings. VRI is the most convenient and up-and-coming solution for language service companies to offer the medical industry. Caring for the millions of people in America who speak little or no English, poses huge challenges for healthcare providers. Providing cost effective and time efficient language solutions, aided by technology, is helping to save lives. The language service industry is meeting increasing demands more swiftly and reliably, VRI is key in obtaining the best medical results for LEP and deaf patients in this day and age.
VRI Can Be Used Anywhere, Anytime and in Any Language:
Often times location and demographic limitations can prevent an interpreter from being able to be physically present. Regardless of the region you’re in, VRI can be used as long and you have a computer, tablet, or smartphone and internet access. VRI is the solution allowing interpretation services to take place even in the most remote and isolated places. Distance is no longer a barrier to having access to an interpreter who speaks the language needed. In some cases, you need an interpreter who speaks a language that is low in demand and there are none in the area. VRI is conducted via the internet, so it’s always possible for you to be connected with an interpreter who is fitting to your language needs.
