COVID-19 sees channel shift Interpreting

Global Language Technology Company, thebigword Group is witnessing a channel shift as clients embrace alternative provisions such as Video Remote Interpreting and Telephone Interpreting in place of the more traditional face to face on-site approach.

Both Video and Telephone Interpreting services have seen more than a 50% increase in use from clients across the public sector including NHS Trusts, Police forces and Local authorities.

Commenting on this Chief Operating Officer Mark Daley said: “The COVID-19 pandemic has really changed  the way many of our clients operate but at thebigword we have the tools and technology to ensure that they continue to receive the same high quality interpreting services in court rooms, hospitals and elsewhere whilst maintaining safety measures to protect our linguists, and service users.”

thebigword’s Video Remote interpreting service works in a similar way to Skype or Zoom and connects usets to professional interpreters for verbal services. The company’s smart technology enables users to select linguist attributes such as security clearance, qualifications, sector expertise and gender. Our system matches the right linguist for each appointment type.
