WHY USE VIDEO REMOTE INTERPRETATION?

Video remote interpretation (VRI) is a real-time language access solution that connects individuals with professional interpreters through secure video and audio technology.

Unlike audio-only interpretation, VRI allows participants to see facial expressions, body language, and visual cues, making it ideal for American Sign Language (ASL), healthcare settings, customer service interactions, government agencies, and important conversations where visual context is essential to understanding.

LSA’s VRI platform provides immediate access to expert interpreters for both common and rare languages, helping organizations improve compliance, accessibility, customer experience, and operational efficiency.
