Why phone interpretation is easier?

It took some efforts for interpreters and clients alike to get used to phone interpretation services. But time, the advance of the technology and the new dynamic of a globalized world have become this service an essential part of daily activities in personal and business operations. Some of the most outstanding advantages of doing telephone interpretation over the classic method are as follow.

Availability

Classic face to face method requires the presence of the interpreter; therefore it needs booking the interpreter in advance and it is subject to availability. Phone interpretation is available 24/7 which makes it suitable for spontaneous and emergency situations. It doesn´t matter your time zone or your location.

Languages

Languages available for classic method depend on the interpreter that must be available in person which narrows the number of languages available. On the contrary, interpretation providers may sub-contract interpreters from all over the world, and it allows them to expand the number of languages they offer.

Extra costs

When the interpreter has to be present, it is necessary to cover transportation costs, but with over-the-phone interpretation it is not required as the service is provided from remote locations.

Flexibility

Phone interpretation is ideal for small conversations and quick questions as the service can be accessed easily. The classic can´t offer this flexibility.

Easy access

The easy access to a telephone makes it suitable for everyone, and it has helped interpretation services to expand widely.
