Telephone interpreting is an efficient and affordable method of communicating. It allows people to communicate across different languages in a matter of seconds through the simple use of a telephone.
Here are some simple situations in which you might choose to use a telephone interpreter rather than call a face to face interpreter to your premises:
– In an emergency, where you require interpretation support immediately.
– When access to an interpreter is required unexpectedly.
– When anonymity is preferred.
– If the conversation is going to brief.
– If there are geographical limitations and it is not possible for an interpreter to attend your meeting.
– When you want to avoid travelling costs, so the interpreter’s working time is used more efficiently.
– If reducing the negative environmental impact of the interpreter’s travel is important to you.
– To reduce the risk of conflicts of interest and emotional impact.
– If you travel the world (or even just the country), so you don’t have a physical base.
Face to face interpreting has its benefits, but we’re seeing an increase in the demand for immediacy – a sort of “on the go” or “on demand” service. With telephone interpreting, interpreters can sometimes be accessed instantly, or in a matter of seconds.
We currently offer telephone interpreting in over 150 languages, any time of day or night, 365 days a year. We do not charge any sign-up fees or subscription charges. Costs are the same regardless of language or time of day of the call.
