What is VRI? 🤔 VRI allows a Deaf and hearing person in the same location to communicate via an interpreter using a device such as a tablet or phone. Just remember, this isn't to replace face to face interpreting. VRI is a solution when in-person interpreters are not available or practical. 👇 Click below to find out more or talk to the team. https://lnkd.in/e6EB3kZ7 #SignVideo #VRI

About us
SignVideo provides live, on-demand British Sign Language (BSL) Video Interpreting services for the UK's Deaf community and UK organisations. We provide both Video Relay Services (supporting phone communications between BSL users and hearing people) and Video Remote Interpreting services (when a hearing person and the BSL users are in the same location, such as a store or office). We provide services for Deaf people, to enable easy day to day communication with hearing people, such as colleagues, customers and other professionals e.g. doctors, teachers etc. We also partner with many forward-thinking organisations to provide live BSL interpreting for customer services provision, ensuring full accessibility for Deaf people to helplines and other customer services channels. It's vital Deaf people can contact customer services teams in BSL, their first language.
