Types of Remote Interpretation We Offer

We provide formats that fit your setting, urgency, and audience size:

Simultaneous Interpretation (Remote SI)

Ideal for conferences, large gatherings of individuals requiring interpretation services in real-time. The interpreter speaks while the presenter talks, enabling real-time understanding through VRI platforms.

Consecutive Interpretation (Remote CI)

Best for hearings, interviews, and meetings. The speaker pauses; the interpreter renders the message accurately over VRI or OPI.

Whispered Interpretation (Chuchotage, Remote)

For small groups or one-to-one board sessions. Delivered via headset on VRI so the main discussion continues uninterrupted.

Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI)

Fast and flexible. Connect to vetted interpreters in minutes for urgent or short interactions.

Video Remote Interpretation (VRI)

Adds body language and visual context for higher accuracy, widely used in healthcare and legal settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does LingArch provide reliable remote interpretation for high-stakes settings?

With 17+ years of experience and 1,500+ vetted interpreters, we deliver secure Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) and Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) across 120+ languages. Sessions run on encrypted platforms with pre-session tech checks, domain-matched interpreters, and clear CI/SI protocols—so hearings, NHS consults, and board calls run smoothly and on time.

2. How many languages do you provide for remote interpretation projects?

LingArch offers remote interpretation in 120+ languages and dialects, covering everything from widely spoken languages like Arabic, Spanish, Mandarin, and French to less common regional dialects.

3. Which platforms do you commonly use for providing remote interpretation services?

We operate on secure, encrypted video and audio platforms that support both Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) and Video Remote Interpretation (VRI). We provide GDPR-compliant and HIPAA-aligned portals built for sensitive data. Multi-device compatibility (desktop, mobile, tablets) ensures seamless access for all participants.

4. What types of remote interpretation do you offer?

We support simultaneous, consecutive, and whispered interpretation delivered via VRI or OPI. Choose VRI when visual cues matter (clinical exams, multi-party legal meetings); choose OPI for urgent or short interactions (triage, helplines, intake calls).

5. How do you match interpreters with our industry and subject matter?

Each assignment is matched to a native-level interpreter with sector expertise—legal (courts, immigration), medical (primary/secondary care), corporate (M&A, investor relations), public service, or education. We prepare with your bundles/agendas and, where needed, set approved glossaries to keep terminology consistent.

6. Do you provide platforms or equipment for remote sessions and hybrid events?

Yes. We host sessions on encrypted video/phone platforms and can supply event-grade audio solutions for hybrid/virtual conferences. For larger events we coordinate channel setup, moderator flows, and audience Q&A while maintaining interpreter “green-room” checks.

7. How do you ensure confidentiality and compliance for remote work?

GDPR-aligned processes, NDA-bound interpreters, encrypted links, role-based access, waiting rooms/passwords, and minimal-data handling. Session logs and audit trails can be provided on request.

8. Do you offer both consecutive (CI) and simultaneous (SI) remotely? When should I use each?

Yes. CI = the speaker pauses; the interpreter renders after each segment—best for hearings, interviews, and sensitive one-to-ones. SI = real time while the speaker talks—best for virtual conferences, time-critical briefings, and large multi-stakeholder calls.

9. Can you support courts, arbitrations, and NHS settings entirely remotely? What languages are covered?

Yes. We handle police interviews, court listings, arbitration sessions, and NHS pathways via OPI/VRI with interpreters trained in setting-specific protocols. Coverage spans 120+ languages, including Arabic, Polish, Mandarin, Urdu, Spanish, French, and rare regional variants.

10. Do you provide real-time transcription or post-session notes for remote matters?

On request. We can arrange realtime captions/feeds, daily roughs, and expedited transcripts for legal or clinical contexts. Fully edited transcripts are typically delivered within agreed timelines; faster options can be arranged.

11. How quickly can I book a remote interpreter, and do you handle out-of-hours requests?

For OPI, connection is typically within minutes. VRI is rapidly scheduled with a brief tech check. We operate 24/7 for urgent assignments and also support pre-booked blocks or recurring programmes.

12. What determines pricing for remote interpretation?

Language pair, duration, mode (OPI/VRI), CI vs SI, sector complexity, and notice period. You’ll receive a clear, no-obligation quote with the recommended setup and SLA—no hidden charges.

13. Do you have experience providing remote interpretation services for hearings that require cross examination of a witness?

Yes. LingArch regularly supports UK court hearings, arbitrations, and asylum interviews where cross-examination of witnesses requires precise, unbiased interpretation. Our interpreters are trained in courtroom protocol, evidentiary accuracy, and neutral delivery, ensuring every word is conveyed faithfully.

14. Can we get volume discount for having frequent interpretation requirements?

Yes, LingArch offers custom pricing models and volume-based discounts. We can help you save costs while ensuring an interpreter available for 24/7.
