Remote Service
- Remote interpreting can be arranged in advance, depending on the nature of the assignment. Not all assignments are suitable for remote interpreting. Do get in touch to discuss your individual needs.
- I have a secure, private, confidential workspace and my computer screen is not visible to others. I wear a headset to maintain the privacy of my clients’ conversation.
- Platforms I currently use are: Skype, Facetime, Zoom and Teams. Others are available on request.However, if I need to download a different platform, which incurs a cost, then this may be added to the clients’ invoice.
- A test call to check connection, set up and usage can be arranged for 20 minutes with no extra charge, however longer testing calls may incur a minimum half day fee.
- The platform used is the clients’ choice, but clients are reminded to familiarise themselves with that platform company’s privacy policy, to ensure that it has the appropriate level of security for their needs.
- Whoever hosts the meetings is deemed responsible for the admin and security of the meeting.
- If the meeting is more than 1hr then it will be necessary to schedule a break after 45mins. For meetings over 2hrs then a co-worker will need to be booked.
- Similar fees as face to face interpreting apply to remote interpreting, due to the technical, complex nature of this type of work, including screen fatigue for both the deaf client and I.
