Face to face interpreting
Face-to-face interpreting remains the most popular service type for many customers due to the benefits of in-person communication. In some cases, for example with mental health patients, it may be that an initial face-to-face meeting is held to build trust and confidence before moving to a video or on-demand video service.
Video and telephone interpreting
Demand for remote interpreting services continues to increase due to ease of accessibility and the ability to acquire it on-demand.
tls’s state-of-the art video interpreting service provides a secure and robust connection to ensure empathy as well as the audio-visual experience for the client is maintained. It can be used via your desktop computer, mobile phone or tablet. With our touchscreen booking system, PRISM, you can request an interpreter immediately from your place of work. tls telephone interpreting is available both as a scheduled or on-demand service with minimal waiting time and every call is connected by a human operative. So, now, wherever you are in the world and whatever time of day, there is always an interpreter available for a video or telephone call. What’s more there are no travel costs or minimum charge, so you pay only for the minutes you use. If your client doesn’t show, you waste little time or money.
