Video Remote Interpreting
 
Video Remote Interpeting

Sign Language Communications NSW (SLC NSW) offers remote interpreting via both Video conferencing and D-Link technology. 

 

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) can be used for situations where an on-site interpreter is not available and can be particularly useful for deaf people living in regional or remote areas who cannot readily access interpreters.
   

Advantages of using Video Remote Interpreting are that SLC NSW can provide an on-demand service in most instances and there is a lower minimum charge time than for on-site interpreters.

To access Video Remote Interpreting clients will require:
