Are you curious about how digital technologies are revolutionizing the language services industry? The experts at All Languages share insights on how Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) bridges the gap between over-the-phone and on-site interpreting, especially in legal, education, conference, and healthcare settings.
In today’s increasingly digital era, video content has become integral to our daily routines, replacing traditional face-to-face interactions and becoming a preferred medium for many types of meetings and in-person gatherings. As early adopters in the pre-arranged interpretation service delivery space, our clients were among few who remained able to communicate across language barriers during the early stages of COVID-19. And the subsequent global shift to video conferencing emphasizes the importance of integrating video in language services while relying upon an innovative and trusted partner.
