Telephonic Interpretation On Demand

Telephonic Interpreting On Demand is especially useful when the language to be interpreted is a Non-Traditional language (a language with relatively fewer speakers than Traditional languages). In such cases, it is difficult to locate trained, experienced interpreters outside cosmopolitan areas. Therefore, there is a lack of On-Site Interpreters in these Non-Traditional languages in less populated areas. Click Below to see our Telephonic Interpretation On Demand Guidelines PDF.

Our Telephonic On Demand Interpreters Are Available 24 Hours a Day / 7 Days a Week / 365 Days a Year for Most Languages

Call our toll-free telephonic on demand interpreting hotline 888-291-8048. (You must first be given a pin # by Verbatim Language Services, Inc. Your pin # will stay the same for every usage).

Guidelines for Using a Telephone On Demand Interpreter

Speak in short phrases, pausing to allow for the interpretation.
Ask one question at a time.
Use simple language to express your meaning. Remember that slang does not translate well.
Explain complex terms when necessary.
Don’t say anything that you do not want interpreted.
Allow the Interpreter to stop you and seek clarification when necessary.
Allow the Interpreter to repeat back to you all critical information.
Address the Limited English Proficient Person (LEP) directly, not the interpreter.

Help With Appointment Setting

Obtaining an Interpreter is one thing. Setting an appointment with a patient or client is another matter. Verbatim Language Services, Inc provides a solution. If the appointment needs to be communicated in Spanish, simply call our office’s toll-free number and we will use our 3-way calling system to set the appointment while you are on the line. If the appointment needs to be communicated in a different language, we will arrange for the appropriate language Interpreter to either contact the patient/client to set or confirm the appointment or arrange for the Interpreter to call the patient/client from your facility. That certainly makes things much easier!
