Connect with an ASL Interpreter by Video

Video Remote Interpreting connects participants with a remote ASL interpreter through a live video session on a compatible device. VRI can be useful for shorter appointments and situations needing convenient remote access, while on-site interpreting may be a better fit for lengthy, complex, sensitive, or highly interactive communication.

*A current signed agreement is needed before fulfilling interpreter requests.

On-Site ASL or Video Remote Interpreting?

The right format depends on the participants, setting, duration, technology, communication preferences, and complexity of the interaction.

On-Site ASL Interpreting

Often preferred for longer or more complex appointments, multiple participants, sensitive discussions, events, movement between locations, or settings where reliable video access is unavailable.

Video Remote Interpreting

A convenient remote option for appropriate shorter interactions when participants have a compatible device, clear video and audio, sufficient lighting, and a reliable internet connection.
