Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)
Video remote interpreting allows you to see and talk to an interpreter on-screen.
When on-site face to face interpreting is neither feasible nor practical, our VRI technology is the ideal format for real-time language access.
We offer a High-Definition, broadcast-quality video interpreting experience that is user-friendly and can be accessed on-demand.
What is VRI or video remote interpreting?
Video interpreting involves using video technology to connect users with interpreters remotely, much like a video conference. You could use Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, or our very own platform LINK.
This type of interpreting is particularly valuable for individuals who are located remotely and who require language support in settings such as healthcare, legal, education, immigration and business.
Video interpreting is also valuable when rare languages and dialects are concerned. Interpreters for those language might live far away and onsite assistance might therefore be unpractical and costly. Video interpreting is a great alternative to onsite interpreting because it still offers the visual cues during interpreting, which are important to the interpreter for understanding a message.
In Australia, Absolute Translations has been providing video interpreting services with our LINK platform, but also on other online meeting platforms such as described above. Our video interpreting software is a safe and dependable option for organisations and people that need translation services in a variety of languages.
Our LINK software for video interpreting has an intuitive user interface that enables smooth communication between the client and the interpreter.

Connect face-to-face
Video interpreting allows you to connect to accredited interpreters instantly no matter where you are.
It is the perfect alternative to onsite interpreting and particularly beneficial when onsite interpreting is not practical, for instance in rural or regional areas in Australia.
Connect to qualified interpreters previously unavailable due to location, at only a fraction of the cost.
Our state-of-the-art LINK technology platform delivers video interpreting services with HD broadcast quality for exceptional visual and auditory communication and interpretation between two or multiple parties.
You will be able to see and hear the interpreter as if they were right next to you in the room!
With access to our LINK pool of 10,000+ qualified interpreters worldwide, you can address your language needs instantly.
VRI Platform LINK
Video interpreting helps people to interact more personally than telephone interpreting, owing to the visual context and cues.
Our platform offers a smooth video call experience while eliminating travel time, mileage fees and wait time, issues often associated with face-to-face interpreting.
Getting started with LINK is easy, all you need is internet access and a mobile device or computer; there’s no expensive equipment to rent or purchase.
Our VRI services are also very useful in performing video interpreting sessions in sign language (AUSLAN – Australian sign language) for deaf audiences where a visual signal is required.
Video interpreting is a great solution for many industries. From business to healthcare to immigration, VRI provides a unique opportunity to connect your clients and community.
