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.
We support 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.
See the dedicated RSI page for platform setup details and typical turnaround.
- International virtual conferences and summits
- Hybrid events with remote multilingual audiences
- UN and EU institutional sessions
- Shareholder meetings and investor days
- Global product launches and trade shows
Supported platforms: Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex, and dedicated RSI platforms.
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 document 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.
We provide VRI interpreters for consecutive and liaison formats in all language pairs, with specialist availability for certified legal translation matters and immigration contexts. Full setup guidance is on the video remote interpreting page.
Documents behind a remote hearing or consultation can be supplied as certified document translation for a court or authority in the US or Europe, and our professional translation services cover the rest of the written work.
- 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.
Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI)
OPI provides telephone interpretation with little or no scheduling lead time, arranged case by case. The interpreter joins a conference call once the request is confirmed, requiring no equipment beyond a telephone or VOIP line.
This flexibility makes OPI a common choice for urgent and emergency situations. Full details on the format are on the dedicated OPI page.
Our OPI service 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
From Request to Live in Four Steps
Brief
A project manager contacts you to confirm interpreter availability, platform access, and any subject-matter glossaries or background documents.
Connect
The interpreter joins your platform or call at the agreed time. For RSI, a technical check is completed before the session goes live.
Done
The session completes. Your project manager follows up to confirm everything went smoothly and handles any billing or documentation.
