Over-the-Telephone Interpretation Solution

Telephone Interpretation Addresses the Requirements

In over-the-phone interpretation, an interpreter listens while your customers or business partners speak in another language, and then conveys the meaning to you in English. The conversation proceeds with the interpreter as an intermediary between or among the parties involved.

Telephone connection

From the telecommunications point of view, the setup may vary. Most businesses have the conference call feature activated, so their staff can add the interpreter as a member of the conference call. Individuals usually can activate the conference call feature from their home phone through an option provided by their telephone company.

Patients on your premises

If there is a telephone connection between you and the interpreter and your customers or business partners are in the same location as you, you can pass the telephone back and forth. Alternatively, you can use a loudspeaker or multiple headsets

Patients in another location

There must be a three-way telephone connection (conference call) that involves you, your customers or your business partners, and the interpreter.

In general, if you are dialing to reach patients, you can call the interpreter before calling them. This way you have a chance to brief the interpreter; if you are receiving a call, you can add the interpreter to the conference call later.
