Though we are used to viewing the coronavirus as a matter of science or through how it affects politics, another factor may be just as important: video remote interpreting. The coronavirus has radically changed how Americans live and work. As more companies and organizations turn to remote work, remote interpreting has emerged as a critical aspect of day-to-day operations. Here are three reasons why it has become so important:

1. Video remote interpreting helps students succeed

The American education system’s transition to remote learning, while critical, has put some students at a disadvantage, especially deaf and ESL students. However, with the help of online interpreting services, these students are able to access their education from the comfort of their own home, a remarkable feat. Ensuring students continue to receive the same quality of education is of paramount importance. School gives students a means of developing a perspective on the world around them. Education is a necessary tool for students to build opinions and understand the application of what they know.

2. Video remote interpreting is vital to the telemedicine industry

Because many Americans are not able to access their healthcare provider at their usual office, telemedicine has become critical to ensuring patients are able to stay in contact remotely. Telemedicine, with the help of remote simultaneous interpretation, 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 also provides them with a way of talking with their doctor and thus bringing about positive healthcare outcomes.

3. Video remote interpreting is essential to international business

As remote work has become increasingly ubiquitous, so has video remote interpreting, especially Zoom interpretation. Given the fact that a large portion of business is conducted internationally, video remote interpreting plays 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. Through video remote interpreting, companies coordinate their activities abroad with their foreign partners, a must in today’s global economy. For instance, an online interpreter 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.
