24/7 On-Demand Over-the-Phone (OPI) and Video Remote (VRI) Interpretation Services for Seamless Communication


What is the Difference Between OPI and VRI?
Over-the-phone interpretation (OPI) is an interpretation service where the interpreter simplifies the communication with your limited English proficiency (LEP) customers through a three-way call, breaking down any language barrier they might be facing.
On the other hand, Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) is a video telecommunication service that uses web cameras or videophones to provide sign language or spoken language interpreting services.
Due to the urgent need for interpretation in specific situations, sometimes there is not enough time to bring an interpreter to the location where it is required. In those specific moments, it is very convenient to have an Interpreter appear remotely on Zoom or over the phone in seconds to communicate with persons with whom there is a communication barrier.
At Green Translations, we have provided cost-effective remote interpretation solutions to hundreds of organizations and corporations across a wide range of industries, including:
Our qualified team of 70+ highly skilled and experienced interpreters is available 24/7 to help you communicate with your foreign language counterparts in seconds.

Why You Should Choose Us?
Immediate Availability
OPI and VRI services are beneficial when you are located in an area lacking qualified interpreters (such as a rural location or a third-world country) or when an urgent interpretation is needed and there are no available interpreters on-site. In those urgent or unplanned situations when you require to be able to communicate in a foreign language quickly and effectively, we will provide you with on-demand access to a professional and qualified interpreter that will join your call or videoconference within seconds
Detailed Recruitment Process
Every interpreter in our team has been individually vetted by our interpreter cloud committee and went through a detailed recruitment process before working with us. Every linguist must pass rigorous screening, certification, and training requirements, including passing a criminal background check and agreeing to adhere to our professional code of conduct and ethics. This way, we ensure that we only provide our clients with top-tier talents with relevant industry expertise and years of experience working in the interpretation industry.
High Confidentiality
We have strict confidentiality and professional secrecy standards to protect the privacy of the parties communicating through one of our interpreters. Every interpreter in our team needs to sign an NDA and agree to comply with our Code of Ethics, where it is explicitly stated that it is prohibited to disclose to anyone any information learned during a private meeting. This principle must be respected before, during, and after the service has been provided.
Cost-Effective Solutions
As a direct result of the COVID-19 crisis, there was a significant drop in demand for in-person interpreters across several industries. Traditional on-site interpreting usually requires at least a two-hour minimum charge and possibly mileage and travel charges, impacting both your budget and the environment at the same time. As part of our commitment to lower our clients’ interpretation costs and our environmentally-friendly culture, we have implemented top-of-the-line Over The Phone (OPI) and Video Remote (VRI) interpretation services to provide our clients with a more efficient and cost-effective solution to their interpretation requirements.
