Virtual Interpreting Services (VIS)
Professional interpreters for your scheduled meetings, events, and conferences, delivered on the platform your team already uses. Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, and more.
What is Virtual Interpreting?
Virtual Interpreting Services (VIS) provide professional interpreters for scheduled sessions on your preferred technology platform, such as Zoom, GoToMeeting, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams. With Virtual Interpreting, you can communicate seamlessly with anyone, regardless of language barriers.
The distinction matters when you are choosing: VI is for scheduled sessions, while VRI is for on-demand sessions. VI is done through your preferred platform. VRI is done through our leading technology platform.

Matched to your subject matter, not just your language
We match you with the right virtual interpreter with linguistic competency in the legal, academic, financial or healthcare setting conversations you plan to have. We also consider the specific needs of your conversation, such as the level of formality, the technical jargon that may be used, and the cultural sensitivities that need to be considered.
Our meticulous prescreening and onboarding process tests our interpreters' fluency, technical competency, internet speeds, and recording environment. Taking these extra precautions guarantees a crisp, clear, and unbroken virtual connection with one of our specialist interpreters.
