Without the right setup, queues stretch, calls drop, language pairs get mismatched. Our platform connects you to a specialist interpreter in under 3 seconds, with 99.95% session reliability. Backed with insightful KPIs and enforceable SLAs.

What is over-the-phone interpreting?

Over-the-phone interpreting (OPI) is on-demand audio access to a qualified human interpreter, 24/7. It connects a caller to a professional in seconds, without scheduling, in 250+ languages. It's the most-used modality for contact centers, citizen services and customer support.

How fast is the connection?

Most connections happen in under five seconds for common language pairs. High-frequency languages connect within seconds. Rare languages may take slightly longer, depending on interpreter availability. Connection-time SLAs are defined contractually and tracked in real time.

Is over-the-phone interpreting secure for regulated interactions?

Yes. The platform is ISO/IEC 27001 certified, GDPR compliant with EU data residency available, and HIPAA-aligned for US healthcare. Interpreters sign confidentiality agreements and follow professional codes of ethics. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Can it integrate with my contact center platform?

Yes. Native integration is available with major CRM, telephony and IVR systems through API connectivity. Deployment is typically 70% faster than legacy platforms. Platform-specific integrations are covered on our customer service interpreting page.

Can interpreters be scheduled in advance as well?

Yes. The same platform handles pre-scheduled appointments and on-demand connections. For interactions requiring visual cues, see our video remote interpreting page. For physical presence, see our on-site interpreting page.
