WHY VVRI was founded...
…Linda started Virtual VRI in 2007 with a good friend who is also an Interpreter. Our company was established because we became aware that there was a need to provide interpreters in rural areas of the United States.
Our goal is....
…Provide reasonably priced exceptionally skilled and personable interpreters. Always provide a demo to ensure adequate internet speeds. Virtual VRI has experienced amazing growth but will never compromise on providing exceptional customer service to everyone involved.
Virtual VRI also...
…offers other accommodations such Foreign Language Sign Languages, e.g. Spanish SL, Japanese SL, French SL, etc. VVRI provides remote transcription services such as TypeWell, CART and Post-Production Captioning. Furthermore, we have found that many customers prefer to use the same ASL agency for their spoken foreign language interpreting, so we also provide this service remotely.
