Real time and on-demand services through an offsite interpreter

If an interpreter is unable to be on site – either due to a lack of qualified interpreters available in an area or the need for immediate service – it is still possible to access interpreting services through Video Remote Interpreting (VRI).

We Offer 2 Types of VRI

  • Video Interpreting – Same cost structure as on-site interpreter services, with a 3-hour minimum. This service is provided through the Boost Lingo scheduling platform.
  • VRI (Video Remote Interpreting)Offered in 30-minute minimum increments.

VRI uses a webcam or other video device in order to provide real-time and on-demand services.

Friends Interpreting Services proudly offers VRI as an on-demand service to provide our clients with a certified professional interpreter when one is not able to be on site.
