Phone and Video Interpretation for Appointments That Cannot Wait.

Interpretation is fundamentally different from translation. A translator works with written text and has time to review and revise. An interpreter works in real time, processing speech and rendering it in another language as the conversation happens. This requires a different kind of proficiency -- active listening, immediate comprehension, and the ability to hold meaning in working memory while simultaneously producing it in the target language.

We provide telephone interpretation and video interpretation for a range of professional contexts. Medical interpretation covers patient-provider appointments, specialist consultations, ER intake assessments, and discharge instructions. Our medical interpreters understand clinical terminology and the importance of precise communication in health settings -- misinterpreted dosage instructions or medication contraindications are not acceptable errors.

Legal interpretation covers depositions, attorney-client consultations, court hearings (when an in-person interpreter is not available), and immigration interviews. Legal interpreters understand courtroom and legal procedure and are familiar with the rights of parties to accurate interpretation in judicial proceedings.

Business interpretation covers negotiations, partner meetings, HR discussions, job interviews with non-English-speaking candidates, and customer service escalations. For business sessions, interpreters are briefed on the company and any relevant terminology before the call.

Scheduling is straightforward. Contact us with your date, time, language pair, and context. For scheduled appointments, we confirm the interpreter at least 2 hours before the session. For urgent same-day interpretation needs in our core language pairs, we can typically connect within 30 minutes.
