Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) Nationwide
Professional video interpreting across all 50 states when visual communication matters but an on-site interpreter is not practical.
Metro Language provides video remote interpreting (VRI) nationwide for conversations that benefit from visual communication while still requiring the speed and flexibility of remote access. VRI can support spoken-language and eligible ASL requests across healthcare, legal, education, government and business settings.
VRI can support distributed organizations in all 50 states through a consistent remote workflow. The appropriate interpreter, language, credential requirements and platform needs are confirmed before scheduled assignments.
VRI combines remote access with visual context. Participants can see the interpreter, which can help with turn-taking, facial expression, gestures and communication in settings where phone-only interpretation is not ideal.
Organizations can also use 24/7 OPI for phone-based needs or schedule an in-person interpreter when face-to-face support is required.
Common VRI uses include hospitals and clinics, behavioral health, schools, legal meetings, government services, employee communication, customer support and multi-location organizations that need consistent remote language access.

VRI can be preferable when facial expressions, gestures, visual context or ASL communication are important.
Can VRI support medical or legal settings?
Yes. Tell us the setting and any credential requirements so the appropriate interpreter qualifications can be confirmed.
