Short answer: Remote interpreting means you can use an interpreter without travel—by phone, video call, or conference call.
Need an interpreter and want to avoid travel time? With telephone interpreting, you can communicate with a professional interpreter remotely. Telephone interpreting is often used for quick conversations, appointments, and time-sensitive situations.
Video interpreting is ideal when visual cues matter (for example in healthcare, legal intake, or meetings with multiple participants). You and the interpreter join the same call and interpret the spoken conversation in real time.
For calls with multiple people (or multiple locations), conference call interpreting makes it easier to keep everyone aligned. Depending on the setup, this can be consecutive interpreting or simultaneous interpreting.
Short answer: Select language(s) and a remote option, send an availability request, then confirm once an interpreter accepts.
