HOW TO FIND A SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETER<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your office just accepted its first deaf client, or a deaf employee is
\nrequired to attend training, you can call us to make sure your business is
\nADA compliant. On site interpreters normally require a two hour minimum fee.
\nTechnology is changing the way sign language interpreters communicate.<\/p>\n

VRI ADVANTAGES:<\/p>\n

Video Remote Intepreting VRI allows deaf and hearing individuals in the same
\nlocation to communicate using a qualified ASL interpreter in a remote
\nlocation.<\/p>\n

1. Interpreters available 24\/7 without delays or two hour minimums
\n2. Equipment is inexpensive, easy to use, and no leasing fees
\n3. Confidential, secure, and private via the Internet (encrypted)<\/p>\n

Computer, webcam and broadband connection with our online service, is all
\nthat is needed. Once a client enters contact and billing information, and
\nsets up an account, they can have an interpreter assisting their customer or
\nemployee in as little as 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Some situations still require an on-site interpreter, technology and high
\nspeed internet make VRI a cost effective solution for:<\/p>\n

Legal – courtroom, arraignments, police interviews, probation, prison,
\ndepositions<\/p>\n

Medical – Non-emergency room , medical checkups,hospital discharge, assist
\nwith ER call until onsite interpreter arrives<\/p>\n

Education – College and K-12 classrooms<\/p>\n

Business – Job interviews, staff meetings, training<\/p>\n

Government – Social Services, employee meetings<\/p>\n

Pay only for the interpreting services you need. Assignments can be
\nscheduled in advance or immediately in emergency situations.<\/p>\n

How to request VRI services:<\/p>\n

1. Set up a free account with billing information
\n2. Check video and audio compability
\n3. Schedule an appointment for an interpreter or immediate request
\n4. Begin your clear VRI interpreting session<\/p>\n

We specialize in providing advanced sign language intepreters for effective
