We offer both Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI), enabling organisations to communicate effectively between different languages – from business meetings to healthcare appointments, HR training or large events.
Our remote interpreting services are typically scheduled in advance, allowing us to match each request with a suitable professional interpreter based on the language pair, subject matter, industry, and meeting format. If you have a specific interpreting requirement, we would be happy to review your request and advise on the most suitable approach.
What is remote interpreting?
Remote interpreting involves facilitating the conversation of two or more individuals communicating in different languages through a professional interpreter, either via video or phone. At Comms Multilingual, our interpreters deliver accurate, culturally aware communication – ensuring that meaning, tone, and intent are never lost.
What is Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)?
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) involves connecting with an interpreter via a video platform such as Zoom or Microsoft Teams.
This method enables more natural communication by capturing body language, facial expressions and tone of voice, making it ideal for:
- Business meetings or negotiations
- Healthcare visits
- HR meetings & employee support
- Training and workshops
- Legal consultation
- Conferences and webinars
What is Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI)?
Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI) connects you with a professional interpreter via telephone, providing a simple and effective way to communicate across languages when video is not required.
This service is particularly useful when visual interaction isn’t necessary, allowing conversations to take place smoothly and efficiently over the phone, such as:
- Scheduled business calls and discussions
- Customer support and client communication
- Healthcare consultations where video is not essential
- Internal meetings and operational conversations
Our phone interpreting service offers a practical, reliable solution for multilingual communication – with the same level of accuracy, professionalism, and confidentiality you expect from Comms Multilingual.
