All transactions are tailored to the needs of our customer; they are easy to make, confidential and secure.
Face to face interpreting
Despite the challenges brought about by the current coronavirus pandemic, face-to-face interpreting remains popular and in some cases is the preferred if not the only option. 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
Customer demand for video and telephone interpreting services has increased exponentially with the advent of COVID-19 and alongside it, the familiarity with video communication.
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. 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.
