Video Remote Interpreting | VRI

VRI is not a telephone service. It's used when two people in the same room want to communicate with each other. The deaf person signs to the interpreter and then the interpreter tells the hearing person what was said. Then, when it's time for hearing person speak to the deaf person, they talk to him by telling them and he signs back at them so that they know what he said.

VRI Conference With An Interpreter

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services are the next frontier in interpreting today. VRI utilizes video conferencing to enable remote spoken or sign language interpreting. VRI enhances accuracy and is a must for sign language interpreting. Consider this VRI conference example. A doctor has a deaf patient. The patient communicates through the CIT interpreter via an Internet-based video conference on a phone, tablet, computer, or videophone. The remote interpreter translates to the (English, Spanish, Etc…) speaking/hearing doctor what was said. The remote interpreter then communicates to the patient what the doctor said.

To Our California Interpreting Clients: CIT Employees Certified CAL. EVID. CODE § 754 Translators

There are approximately 10,000,000 (ten million) people who have hearing loss in the United States, and it’s estimated that about 1,000,000 (one million) of them are considered functionally deaf. As a result, The 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses to accommodate these disabilities by making reasonable accommodations for normal day-to-day communication needs such as providing sign language or captioning during remote video meetings so those participating can communicate more easily.

The ability to reserve a certified sign-language interpreter is of paramount importance. Our professional courteous and experienced interpreters are the logical choices in facilitating communications between the hearing enabled, people who are deaf or hard-of hear, they can also help those that have limited speech due to medical conditions like paralysis caused by stroke
or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
