Video Remote Interpreting Services (VRI) provides a readily available virtual solution whenever in-person or on-site interpreting services are not immediately available.  It requires technological equipment in the form of iPads, PCs, or video conferencing screens coupled with high-speed internet connection with sufficient bandwidth to provide the services of a qualified interpreter, usually located at a call center, to people at a different location.  VRI is currently being used in a wide variety of settings including educational institutions, hospitals, physicians’ offices, mental health care settings, police stations, financial institutions, retail establishments, and workplace meetings.
