Ready when YOU are…Even at the last minute.

                                  An unscheduled meeting

With Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) from Birnbaum Interpreting Services (BIS), you’re always just a click/call away from a professional sign language interpreter!

  • BISVRI combines video conferencing technology with professional, accurate interpreters to enable Deaf, hard of hearing and hearing individuals to communicate interactively via a live, qualified (remotely located) interpreter.
  • Minimum charges are based on just fifteen minutes instead of the standard two hour (or more) charge for conventional ‘in person’ interpreters.


BISVRI IS:

  • Available “On-demand” – no appointments necessary
  • Additional and/or hidden fees are a thing of the past!
  • Affordable with different financing options based on your needs
  • Accessible – no special equipment needed on your end, just a high-speed internet connection and a web cam or a video phone
  • An ADA compliance tool
  • An effective communication facilitation resource you can depend on
  • Available to you with zero cancellation or last minute fees
  • Available immediately when you need high quality interpreting and it’s just not feasible to have an interpreter on-site.
