Remote interpreting has become more important than ever with the outbreak of the coronavirus. Communication is critical to business success, especially when business is conducted internationally. Good communication leads to innovative solutions, but it is also a necessary component to keep all levels of an organization functioning smoothly. 

 

As more businesses and organizations pursue strategies that allow their employees to work from home, remote interpreting can assist businesses in finding their footing in what may seem like an unstable global economy. Here are some of the many industries that can benefit from remote interpreting:

 

1. The Healthcare Industry and Remote Interpreting

Because of the highly contagious nature of the coronavirus, many doctors have been forced to find inventive ways to assess the symptoms of the increased number of patients. This has caused the field of telemedicine to skyrocket in demand, as it allows patients who might have any sort of medical question, related to the coronavirus or not, to access their doctors remotely through platforms like Zoom. For patients who don’t speak English, video remote interpreting services can help patients accurately report their medical issues to their doctors.

2. The Legal World and Remote Interpreting

Because of social distancing regulations, many court cases have been put on hold. Judges and attorneys occasionally use the Zoom video platform and the Court Call telephone system for mandatory criminal and emergency hearings. As restrictions are lifted, and more court cases are processed in a combination of in-person and remote cases, remote interpreting is expected to play an important role. For instance, if court cases are allowed to proceed in the coming weeks, video remote interpreting conducted by an online interpreter can help defendants properly communicate with trial participants, allowing justice to be served.

3. International Business

As the number of employees working from home has exponentially increased, remote interpreting is expected to play a huge role in facilitating international business. Now more than ever all parts of a company need to be operating in tandem with each other. People who are not native speakers are in danger of missing valuable information as it trickles through the company. For that reason, businesses are having to rethink their strategies and implement remote interpreting services to address this issue. For instance, remote simultaneous interpretation could help business partners communicate with each other during international business meetings or conferences held on Zoom or other platforms, allowing business to proceed as usual.
