Technology has transformed the way we communicate—and interpreting is no exception. With tools like Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI), language services are now faster, more accessible, and more versatile than ever before.
At Spot On Interpreting, we use these technologies to connect clients in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Sacramento, New York, and San Diego with professional interpreters—wherever and whenever they’re needed.
What Is Remote Interpreting?
- VRI (Video Remote Interpreting): Uses video platforms to connect interpreters with clients in real time. Especially useful for ASL, since visual communication is critical.
- OPI (Over-the-Phone Interpreting): Provides audio-only support, perfect for spoken languages like Spanish when video isn’t necessary.
These methods are reliable, cost-effective, and increasingly popular across industries.
Everyday Uses of Remote Interpreting
- Schools: Parents joining meetings from home can still have interpreters present.
- Courtrooms: Virtual hearings with interpreters ensure due process.
- Workplaces: Employees attending hybrid meetings can participate fully.
- Public services: Agencies in Washington D.C. and San Francisco use remote interpreters for quick access.
Benefits of Remote Interpreting
- Immediate access when on-site interpreters aren’t available.
- Lower costs with no travel expenses.
- Flexibility for emergencies or unscheduled needs.
- ADA compliance for institutions and businesses.
Remote interpreting has become a lifeline for accessibility—especially since the pandemic highlighted the need for virtual solutions.
The Human Touch Behind the Technology
While technology is the bridge, it’s the interpreters who bring accuracy, professionalism, and cultural awareness. At Spot On Interpreting, our interpreters are trained to adapt to both in-person and virtual settings, ensuring seamless communication.
