Features and Benefits of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI):
Video remote interpreting (VRI) is a modern, technologically advanced take on providing interpretation services for limited English proficient (LEP) or deaf individuals. VRI is a remote interpretation service that uses telecommunication software to connect individuals with an interpreter via the internet. It facilitates effective communication without the physical presence of an on-site interpreter. This user friendly and cost effective language solution is being implemented in hospitals, healthcare facilities, mental health offices, educational environments, courtrooms, and in business settings to bridge language gaps. It minimizes confusion and aids in avoiding miscommunications that can occur when language barriers are present. VRI is accessible through an online platform which makes it easy to connect with an interpreter regardless of your location or the time zone you’re located in.
Implementing A System You Envision:
Once the decision has been made to invest in VRI it’s important to envision how you would like the service to be used in your place of business. Will it be an independent computer station, a portable cart or will you be using VRI via your mobile device. Choosing the most appropriate set up for your specific needs will determine the method of installation and ultimately aid in accommodating your day-to-day operations. In order to implement VRI into your workplace you will need either a computer, tablet or smartphone, with a camera, speakers, microphone and a stable internet connection.

VRI Carts in Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities:
VRI carts are the best method of use in the healthcare industry. It’s basically a tablet connected to an adjustable rolling stand that provides effortless movement and mobility to maximize the effectiveness of your interpretation session. The tablet is safely secured to the cart which allows you to easily roll it to any location for hands free interpreting and excellent portability. This method of implementation really aids medical staff in emergency room scenarios. It’s also a great solution for hospitals or healthcare facilities that provide care to large LEP populations.
