Interpreting is just a phone call away

Throughout 2013, Able Translations has been redeveloping our telephone interpreting system in order to provide you with a faster, more seamless service. Now more than ever, interpreting is just a phone call away. For those of you who aren’t aware, there are three major modes of interpreting: face-to-face, telephone, and video remote. Each of these modes, all available through Able Translations, is most fitting to certain situations. Face-to-face interpreting involves sending an interpreter on site to work with you and your limited English proficient client.

This takes a bit more planning than the other modes but it is the gold standard. Video remote interpreting is similar to face-to-face in quality but because it is available on-demand, you have more booking flexibility. Telephone interpreting is best used for shorter sessions. It is the most cost-effective and convenient mode. Able Translations uses a payper- use model so there are no upfront costs to you. Our rates can be as low as $1.35/min subject to call volume. Setting up the service is easy. Simply speak to an account manager by calling 1-800-840-5370. They’ll take care of everything.
