What is a video relay interpreter?

A Video Relay Interpreter (VRI) facilitates communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals who use sign language and hearing individuals who use spoken language. They work remotely via video relay services (VRS) to interpret real-time conversations over video calls. Their role is to ensure accurate and effective communication while adhering to professional and ethical standards. VRIs must be fluent in sign language and spoken language, possess strong interpreting skills, and maintain confidentiality. This service is commonly used for phone calls, customer service interactions, and other communication needs where in-person interpretation is not available.

A typical day for a Video Relay Interpreter involves interpreting real-time phone or video conversations between deaf or hard-of-hearing callers and hearing individuals using specialized software and equipment. The work is fast-paced, with interpreters handling a variety of call types, from casual conversations to urgent or confidential matters. Interpreters often work independently but are part of a larger team supported by technical and supervisory staff. Shift work and weekend hours are common, allowing for flexible schedules, and there can be opportunities for advancement into training or supervisory roles with experience.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a video relay interpreter?

These abilities ensure accurate, efficient, and confidential communication between deaf or hard-of-hearing individuals and hearing parties in a fast-paced, technology-driven work setting.
