RSI, VRI, and OPI Expert Interpreters Anywhere in the World

Remote simultaneous interpreting, video remote interpreting, and over-the-phone interpreting covering 50+ languages.

RSI

Remote Simultaneous Interpreting (RSI)

RSI delivers conference-grade simultaneous interpretation over the internet. Attendees join a language channel from any browser or mobile device and hear the interpreter in real time while the speaker continues without pause. No physical booths at the venue, no interpreter travel costs, and no geographic restrictions on which languages you can offer.

BeTranslated supports RSI on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and dedicated RSI platforms. Two interpreters are assigned to every session exceeding 30 minutes, in line with AIIC professional standards, to maintain quality over long events.

  • UN and EU institutional sessions

  • Global product launches and trade shows

Supported platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and dedicated RSI platforms.

VRI

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)

VRI connects the interpreter and all parties via a secure video call. Unlike over-the-phone interpreting, VRI preserves visual cues, facial expressions, and body language, which are significant in medical, legal, and sensitive settings where non-verbal communication affects meaning and accuracy. Sessions are often booked alongside medical translation of supporting records.

Sessions run on any standard video platform including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex, as well as dedicated healthcare and legal VRI platforms. BeTranslated provides VRI interpreters for consecutive and liaison formats in all language pairs, with specialist availability for legal translation matters and immigration contexts.

  • Telehealth consultations and NHS appointments
  • Virtual court hearings and depositions
  • Immigration interviews and UKVI hearings
  • Cross-border business and legal negotiations
  • Social services and safeguarding appointments

Supported platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and dedicated healthcare VRI systems.

OPI

Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI)

OPI provides on-demand telephone interpretation with no scheduling lead time. The interpreter joins a conference call within minutes of the request, requiring no equipment beyond a telephone or VOIP line. This immediacy makes OPI the primary choice for urgent and emergency situations.

BeTranslated OPI is available for core language pairs including Arabic, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Russian, Polish, and Urdu. Less common languages are available on a scheduled basis. Medical, legal, and utility providers use OPI as part of broader interpreting services to cover unplanned language access needs across their operations.

  • Emergency and urgent healthcare calls
  • Utility and government helplines
  • Police and emergency services
  • Walk-in legal advice clinics
  • Banking and financial services customer calls
