Tips for Working with Video Remote Interpreters
- Request a video remote sign language interpreter or captioner as soon as your meeting or event is scheduled. Booking your accommodation services early ensures the optimal professional for your request.
- A strong internet connection and a clear web camera are essential for remote interpretation. Allott 10-15 minutes prior to the beginning of a VRI call to ensure all participants are properly connected.
- Respect the interpreters’ scheduled end-time. If you need to extend your service request, reach out to a coordinator immediately.
- If you communicate through sign language, ensure your video is clear for the interpreter to see and understand you. If possible, position yourself with a solid background.
- If you communicate through speech, ensure your audo is clear for the interpreter to hear and understand you. If possible, connect to the call in a quiet room where you will not be interrupted.
- Have patience with technology. If the internet freezes or lags, ask the consumer and/or the interpreter to repeat anything that was missed.
- If you intend to record, reproduce, or distribute the interpreter's work, please inform the coordinator in advance. Recording, reproducing, or distributing an interpreter's work without conset carries potential legal repercussions.
- Still unsure? Reach out to a coordinator to ask a question or discuss how to prepare for your service request.
