In addition to on-site interpreting, Paraquad Deaf Way Interpreting Services also offers Video Remote Interpreting (VRI). People who are Deaf or hard of hearing can communicate with any professional using a laptop, iPad or even iPhone with a good internet connection to connect with a qualified interpreter from Deaf Way.

Advantages of VRI:

• Obtain qualified interpreting services in areas where no on-site interpreters are available.
• Save on mileage fees.
• Billing by the minute, not the hour.
• Shorter wait times.
• Trained medical and legal interpreters.
• No need for special equipment.
• Secure and HIPAA compliant.
• Can be used in court, prison, lawyer’s office, doctor’s office, a workplace and more.

Note: VRI is not a good fit for everyone who is Deaf or hard of hearing, so make sure you first ask the person if they want to use it.
