As healthcare professionals, we know situations arise where an on-site sign language interpreter isn't available. That's where Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) steps in as a reliable solution.
VRI connects doctors and deaf or hard-of-hearing patients with qualified interpreters via computer, laptop, TV, or tablet. As one of the fastest-growing language services in the U.S., it breaks down communication barriers, enabling clear conversations through secure video links with exceptional accuracy.
VRI empowers medical organizations to facilitate seamless communication with deaf or hard-of-hearing patients, regardless of their primary language. Simply connect to the interpreter, provide a brief context, and start the session immediately.
Key Benefits of Video Remote Interpreting:

On-Demand Availability: Access professional interpreters anytime, anywhere—no scheduling hassles. Ideal for urgent needs without on-site delays.
High Accuracy: Interpreters capture visual cues and nuances in ASL and spoken language, relaying information precisely between patient and provider.
