Choose Your Interpreting Mode
Professional interpreting is available across multiple delivery modes. The right format depends on the nature of the communication, the setting, and the level of visual or physical presence required.
Phone Interpreting Services
The fastest method for immediate language support, requiring no hardware, software, or configuration. Suited to patient intake, clinical triage, customer service, legal intake, claims processing, and after-hours support.
Video Remote Interpreting
Adds a live visual connection when facial expression, visual context, or sign language is integral to accurate communication. Ideal for medical assessments, mental health, legal proceedings, and ASL. Works on any device.
On-Site Interpreting Services
Places a qualified interpreter physically in the room when complexity, sensitivity, or legal significance requires it. Consecutive, simultaneous, whispered, liaison, relay, and sign language interpreting.
On-Demand Interpreting
Immediate access to a qualified interpreter without prior scheduling, appointment, or minimum usage commitment. Available around the clock across both phone and video modes.
Conference Interpreting
Supports multilingual events including international conferences, board meetings, panel discussions, and executive summits — in simultaneous and consecutive formats, with terminology preparation included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our interpreting services.
What are interpreting services?
Interpreting services provide real-time spoken language support between individuals who do not share a common language, facilitated by a trained professional interpreter. Interpreting may occur by phone, video remote, or on site, and may involve spoken language or sign language. Unlike translation, which is the written conversion of content, interpreting is live and immediate.
What is on-demand interpreting and how does it work?
On-demand interpreting provides immediate access to a qualified interpreter without prior scheduling or appointment. The caller dials the access number or opens the DayInterpreting app, selects the required language, and the system routes the session to an available interpreter within seconds. The service is available 24 hours a day across phone and video modes.
How quickly can I reach a phone interpreter?
For high-demand languages, Day Translations connects callers to a qualified interpreter in under 30 seconds. The service requires no hardware, software, or technical configuration. Any standard phone line is sufficient.
What is the difference between phone interpreting and video remote interpreting?
Phone interpreting is audio-only and provides the fastest connection for most language support requirements. Video remote interpreting adds a live visual channel, which is necessary when sign language, facial expression, or visual context is required for accurate communication. VRI is commonly used for medical assessments, ASL sessions, legal consultations, and sensitive conversations where visual engagement affects comprehension.
When should I use an on-site interpreter instead of phone or video?
On-site interpreting is appropriate when the interpreter must be physically present to manage the dynamics of a complex conversation. This includes formal legal proceedings, surgical consultations, community meetings, multi-party conferences, and high-level negotiations. For most standard language support requirements, phone or video remote interpreting is equally effective and faster to arrange.
Are your interpreting services HIPAA compliant?
Day Translations operates HIPAA-aligned interpreting workflows, with trained medical interpreters, secure communication protocols, and confidentiality obligations applied to every healthcare assignment. Business Associate Agreement arrangements are available for healthcare clients that require them under HIPAA.
What languages are available for interpreting?
Day Translations provides interpreting in 500+ languages and regional dialects, including common, rare, indigenous, and low-resource languages. In cases where a direct interpreter is not immediately available, relay interpreting can be arranged. Organizations with recurring requirements for a specific rare language may contact us to establish a dedicated coverage arrangement.
How much do professional interpreting services cost?
Standard on-demand interpreting is billed per minute of session time. No setup fees, monthly minimums, or long-term contracts are required for standard access. High-volume organizations may request custom enterprise pricing, which includes volume discounts, custom routing, and consolidated account-level reporting.
Do I need special equipment for phone or video interpreting?
Phone interpreting requires only a standard telephone. Video remote interpreting operates on any internet-connected device, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. The DayInterpreting app provides mobile access without additional hardware or setup requirements.
Can you support rare or indigenous languages?
Day Translations coordinates specialist interpreters for rare, indigenous, regional, and low-resource languages. Where a direct interpreter is not available, relay interpreting can be arranged. Organizations with recurring needs for a specific rare language are encouraged to contact us to discuss a dedicated coverage arrangement.
What is the difference between interpreting and translation?
Interpreting is the real-time spoken or signed conversion of communication between languages, occurring live during a conversation or event. Translation is the written conversion of content from one language to another, applied to documents, websites, legal filings, and similar materials. Day Translations provides both services.
Are your interpreters certified or court-qualified?
Day Translations matches interpreters to assignments by language pair, subject matter, delivery mode, urgency, and required credentials. Certified, court-qualified, and professionally credentialed interpreters are available where required and confirmed during the intake process. ASL Certified Deaf Interpreters are coordinated for assignments where the setting requires it.
