ON-SITE SERVICES
We focus on on on-site interpreting. VRI (Video Remote Interpreting) is a great resource for emergencies or limited settings. However, the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community has expressed their preference for in-person services. Local interpreters understand the unique dynamics of their region, are often much easier to see/hear, and never freeze up when the WiFi is down.
