What is Video Remote Interpreting?

VRI is ideal for those who do not have the time or budget to schedule an on-site professional but still want real-time interpretation for effective communication. During VRI, which is carried out by an interpreter who connects via video conferencing, the interpretation is consecutive. VRI is best suited for one-on-one conversations or discussions between smaller groups of people because of the natural stop-and-start flow of conversation. 

Geneva Worldwide’s VRI services are HIPAA-compliant and ensure ease of access under unexpected or emergency circumstances. These video services can accommodate people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or have limited English proficiency. 

This is a software that allows interpretation to occur remotely, so you can access a language interpreter wherever you are. This platform offers many options during the conversation, such as muting and text chatting.

Consecutive interpretation allows for natural pauses and breaks during the conversation. During consecutive interpretation, a speaker will talk, and then the interpreter will deliver the message in the other language. They will then listen to the other party’s reply before interpreting it back to the speaker’s own language. This style is more conversational and allows for more interaction between the speakers.

At Geneva Worldwide, we use state-of-the-art routing software, so our linguists are prepared to interpret any language with the press of a button or “on demand.” With telephone interpreting and VRI, you have access to our global network of highly qualified and professional interpreters 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with the press of a button once your account has been set up.

Another form of on-demand service is on-site/in-person interpreting. Our in-person interpreting is designed for those circumstances where nothing can replace the individualized personal attention provided by in-person interpretation.

 Finally, our Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART) services are speech-to-text – also known as “Live Event Captioning.” This type of captioning does not need to involve a foreign language, ASL, or a different language other than the one the speaker is using. As the speaker speaks, an instantaneous, word-for-word transcription is provided.

For pre-scheduled services, which are arranged in advance, we assign knowledgeable experts who are familiar with local, vernacular, and industry jargon in whatever fields are needed and available the day and time you need them. We offer transcription, translation, and interpretation in over 180 languages and we have more than 8,000 linguists on hand that we can schedule depending on your upcoming needs.

From Afrikaans to Zulu, Geneva Worldwide offers transcription, translation, and interpretation in over 180 languages and dialects, including American Sign Language. If you or someone you’re working with has limited English proficiency, we can provide the bridge needed to communicate both in-person and remotely.

In the context of video remote interpretation (VRI) using any of our platforms, channels refer to a dedicated virtual space for audio and video communication between interpreters, clients, and end-users. In VRI, channels are typically used to ensure that the interpretation process is private, secure, and optimized for quality. For example, VRI channels can be set up using Zoom’s web conferencing platform, which provides an interface for video, audio, and screen sharing. The VRI channels can be accessed through a unique URL or meeting ID and password, which allows the participants to join the session from their own devices.

RSI allows interpreters to work from anywhere in the world, relaying messages in almost real time. During RSI, there is usually little interaction between the speaker and the audience. The benefit is that speakers and participants can interact from anywhere on the planet.

If your internet is slow, compromised, or unknown, we can provide over-the-phone services. Even if you are not in a remote location, you might have a rushed or last-minute language emergency, or you may want to save time in a meeting. Telephonic interpreting can meet your language needs in just a few simple steps, even during extended or after-business hours. For VRI (see definition above) services, any electronic device with a camera will work; however, you must have a reliable internet connection.

Our interpreters span the globe and can work all hours. Contact us to put together a team that will meet your needs.

Our translation services will provide what you need to give the user easy access to your information via their preferred language. User interface (UI) translation converts things like text, audio, and graphics to give the user insight and help them better understand the services you provide. 

On a remote interpreting platform, the user has the option to mute and unmute themselves during the conference. This ensures there is no background noise from the linguist while a host is speaking and that they are in the forefront of audio when it is their turn to interpret. This is a vital function and learned skills of the linguists who work with remote platforms they continue to master.

On a remote interpreting platform, the user has the option to chat with the interpreter via text by typing their messages and the interpreter can chat with the host, and one another to coordinate live events seamlessly without the audience knowing.

You can use VRI services as long as you have an electronic device with a camera, like a smartphone or tablet. However, you must have a reliable internet connection. We will test your connection speed on a call prior to the session to ensure there aren’t any issues and the conversation won’t have lags that hinder comprehension. 

For VRI (see definition above), any electronic device with a camera will work, but you must have a reliable internet connection for the video to be good quality. The faster the connection and the better the video resolution, the more clearly you will be able to see the interpreter.

An access code is a private link that will be provided before your session begins, so your services are protected and secure. We work with everyone from government agencies and medical facilities to educational institutions and legal offices, and we must ensure only those who are entitled to hear the conversation can access it. 

We convert the data going back and forth during the sessions into a secure code, so it’s protected regardless of whether you’re on your phone or computer. Called encryption, this allows clients to maintain compliance in even the most sensitive settings. 

Because of the nature of the companies we’ve worked with for over a century, data privacy is extremely important to us. We provide top-notch translation and interpretation services that you can count on: translated by professionals, reviewed by experts, and delivered by the best in the field. Our services are HIPAA-compliant, and the data is always encrypted. 

Before your session, one of our experts can ensure connectivity and access. They will also troubleshoot any potential issues. To guarantee your session runs smoothly, we have an on-site VRI studio in our New York headquarters, where we provide troubleshooting for any equipment malfunctions, as well as project managers to oversee every session. 

Our services work on all current web browsers. You may want to update to the newest version, however, to ensure compatibility, security, and accessibility.

Our services are available on all up-to-date smartphones.

For any device/connection/compatibility or tech questions, and for a detailed list of our VRI minimum requirements, please contact us at interpretingstaff@genevaworldwide.com.
