How does LifeLinks VRI work?

To use video remote interpreting for your meeting, simply schedule an appointment with LifeLinks VRI. When it is time for the call, the remote interpreter--located at one of the LifeLinks VRI interpreting centers--will appear on your TV screen at the scheduled appointment time. The interpreter, who uses a videoconferencing device and a TV, will sign everything that the hearing person speaks and voice what the deaf individual signs. The deaf and hearing person can converse back and forth, just as if the interpreter was in the same room. When the conversation ends, the interpreter disconnects, and the company is billed for the number of interpreted minutes. To summarize, LifeLinks VRI provides another solution for your interpreting needs.
