What our clients are saying about Video Remote Interpreting!

When deciding to make the switch to Language Services Associates (LSA) we were attracted to the low cost per minute language interpretation and the availability of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Community. Particularly appealing was the 30 day trial period where we could use the product and allow our staff to “weigh in” on the service. After receiving excellent reports from our staff members, we decided to make the switch to LSA. The Windsor Police Service is the first in Ontario to offer VRI through LSA. All we needed to go live with VRI was a personal computer, network access and a 2 mega-pixel camera; there was no expensive equipment to purchase. There is a cost savings compared to face-to-face interpretation and the service allows us to offer on demand access to interpretation 24/7. The staff at LSA are excellent to work with and I would definitely recommend LSA.”

Learning how to use LSA’s Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) system has been easy for our staff. It can be intimidating to use technology that you have never used before. But this process is very simple to use and it is a great help, especially when we are working with a person to get the details we need to provide the right tests. It also makes the registration process go faster, which is a benefit to the patient and everyone else who is waiting for an appointment.”
