Video Remote Interpreting

Video Remote Interpreting, also know as VRI, is a video communication service that uses devices such as web cameras, video phones, or iPads to provide sign language or spoken language interpreting services. This is done through a remote or offsite interpreter, in order to communicate with persons with whom there is a communication barrier.

It is similar to a slightly different technology called Video Relay Service (VRS), where the parties are each located in different places. VRI is a type of Telecommunication Relay Service (TRS) that is not regulated by the Federal Communication Commission.

This service is perfect for those settings where a Sign Language or Spoken Language Interpreter is not available or when the amount of time needed is minimal and VRI would be more cost effective for your company or business.

Hands in Motion offers both last minute and pre-scheduled VRI services. Whether you are interested in ad hoc services or a package in which a discount is applied when a guaranteed number of minutes are committed to per month, Hands in Motion can help you find the best fit for your needs.
