Video Remote Interpreting Benefits

Video remote interpreting (VRI) services offer a number of benefits for those seeking ASL interpreters.

Available On-Demand

At CLI, our contract interpreters are accessible on-demand. This is a game changer in emergencies when there may not be time to wait for an in-person interpreter.

The network of interpreters we work with are accessible and available when you need them. For example, if your on-site ASL interpreter is running late, you can quickly connect to a remote ASL interpreter through our VRI platform usually in seconds from any connected device with sufficient bandwidth.

If your business serves walk-in customers with needs that exceed those of a causal interaction, such as in certain retail establishments or the banking industry, you can instantly use our video interpreting services to communicate with customers. This provides a more economical option for businesses that don’t have access to in-person interpreters around-the-clock.
