Virtual Interpreting

Virtual Interpreting Services

Communicate when you need to, wherever you are.

Communicating clearly with the Deaf or hard of hearing communities or persons with limited English proficiency requires skilled interpreters. As businesses and organizations continue to transition to more remote workspaces, LUNA can provide virtual interpreting services to bridge communication gaps in more than 100 spoken languages and American Sign Language (ASL).

With highly qualified and experienced spoken language and American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreters, our virtual interpreting services are customized to meet your needs—whether communicating with telehealth patients, students, or employees. Our extensive network of interpreters are fluent in both English and their language(s) of expertise. The majority are native speakers, who have a nuanced understanding of the cultural sensitivities essential for clear and proper communication.

We pride ourselves on providing our clients with the most highly qualified interpreters when and where they need them.

What We Offer

Virtual interpreting is a video-telecommunication service that is used when both the client and the persons with Limited English proficient or Deaf or hard of hearing are virtually meeting through a teleconferencing platform (for example, a multilingual meeting through Zoom). The interpreter will join the client’s virtual meeting or webinar and ensure both parties’ messages are being fully understood.

Clients can utilize their own teleconferencing platforms if they already have those in place. LUNA can also set up a virtual meeting for the host and the team members or audience to facilitate communication. Here are Zoom’s online instructions for establishing one user as a language interpreter during a session or meeting. We recommend that a minimum internet speed of 1 MBPS (megabytes per second) is provided to ensure that effective visibility is provided for comprehension of ASL. Check your internet speed here.

We can easily schedule virtual interpreting appointments around the clock in select languages and can provide this service to clients anywhere in the world. LUNA will charge our hourly interpreting rates, billing in 15 minute increments after the minimum is reached per our normal policy.

Once we understand your unique needs, future requests can be called in or emailed directly to LUNA for prompt scheduling.

As interpreters, we’re often involved in confidential communication and we take that responsibility seriously—regardless of spoken, signed, or written communication. Our Virtual Interpreting Team is fully compliant with HIPAA rules and follows established procedures for maintaining confidential records and destroying them securely when necessary. Both LUNA Staff and contract interpreters strictly and conscientiously comply with confidentiality agreements for all virtual interpreting assignments.
