Body language and facial expressions that speak volumes
Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) operates in a similar way to Skypeâ„¢ or FaceTimeâ„¢, allowing you to visually converse with our interpreters who have a strong reputation amongst the interpreting community.
We believe that body language and facial expressions can further facilitate empathy and understanding – a key component our team focus on in emergency or sensitive situations.

Speed of service is crucial in any industry, especially in a crisis or emergency scenario and sometimes the face-to-face element is also crucial. WordSynk Interpretation enables connection speeds of less than 3 minutes for video remote interpreting, enabling you to access the service on demand, as and when you need it.

Face-to-face delivery
We understand that in certain scenarios, such as during sensitive conversations, it is important to have the face-to-face interaction even if its virtual. With video remote interpreting, we break down the language and geographical barriers by connecting you to multilingual support, directly to your video-enabled device.
