The Video Interpreting Revolution
The services of an interpreter have proven to be very useful in the recent past. Many big business contracts and mergers have only become possible thanks to the presence of an interpreter. Interpreters are rapidly changing the way we do business and the more the world changes the more their services are required. However with only just a few people providing a service that is needed by so many people these days, the few interpreters that are available in the market are being stretched thin, almost too thin. To secure the services of a professional interpreter these days, one has to book several months in advance. Interpreters these days are booked months in advance and in some cases you will find that the interpreters are held up in locations on the other side of the world.
It has gotten to the point where it is necessary to change the way interpreters do their business and this is why www.bookinterpreter.com has come up with its revolutionary video interpreting system. This system is the key to ensuring that you will always have an interpreter present at any meeting without having to make the booking several months in advance. We realized a long time ago that to make use of the services of an interpreter, the interpreter doesn’t even have to be in the same room as you or where the meeting is taking place. All that you need is for the interpreter to hear what is being said in the meeting and he or she will be able to communicate the interpreted message directly to you.
Cost Effective Video Interpreting
The first and most notable advantage of making use of our video interpreting service is that you will not be required to subscribe at any point in time. If you wish to use our system to hire an interpreter who will be available on location then your first five bookings will be done free of charge on our part. However after that, you will be required to subscribe so as to make use of our services. Although the amount is not too high, it is still an expense on your part, one that you can easily avoid by instead opting for our video interpreting system. Video interpreting is charged on a pay as you go basis. This means that you will be charged a certain amount for every minute of the interpreter’s work but not for anything more. You can come back as many times as you wish without ever having to subscribe.
The second way in which the video interpreting is cost effective is that transport, food and accommodation costs for the interpreter are nullified automatically. If you wish to bring in an interpreter all the way from Africa then you are likely to pay a fortune just for bringing them to your country. If you instead choose our video interpreting option, you can make use of the services of the same interpreter without having to worry about how the interpreter will get to the meeting or how they will be housed during their stay in a new city or country.
Save Money With The New Video Interpreter
Sometimes there is no avoiding having to use an interpreter. If you intend to have clients or business partners from another part of the globe then it is unavoidable that one or the other will be unable to understand what the other person says. This however doesn’t mean that business should not get done. All that you need is to call in an interpreter and you will be ready to negotiate your business. However, good interpreters will not avail their services cheaply to you. Interpreters also invest a lot of time and money into perfecting their art and like all other jobs; you must pay for the extra high quality of the work if you expect to make use of the services of a top notch interpreter.
For a high quality interpreter to be present at your meeting, you will have to first pay the high fees at a minute or hourly rate. You will also have to take care of the interpreters other expenses such as accommodation, transportation, food etc. This is because you won’t always get a good interpreter who lives close by. All these costs can heavily increase the costs of doing business. An interpreter’s job is to transfer information from one person to the next and if this alone costs too much you may never get to do the business.
Requirements For A Video Interpreter
We have come up with a revolutionary new way of offering interpretation services to anyone anywhere in the whole world. Our video interpreter system is tipped to be a success because we will be able to avail the service of qualified interpreters to anybody who would want to make use of such services. We are therefore highly interested in gathering as many interpreters in as many language combinations as is possible. This will enable us to put you in touch with our clients while also offering you a unique and great chance to offer your service without any hustle at all.
If you wish to join our crew of professional Video interpreters then you will first have to meet a few requirements. For starters, the basic requirements that are put down for on location interpreters will also apply to our video interpreters. You will have to be a qualified interpreter, able to translate between at least two languages. If you can handle more languages it will be an added advantage to you. You must also be able to conduct yourself in a professional manner. Most of the jobs will put you in the same ‘room’ as many highly dignified individuals and this will mean that you should be able to dress and act appropriately regardless of your current location.
Professional Video Interpretation
For starters, you will be able to recruit an interpreter and start using his or her services on the spot. If you were to hire a regular interpreter who was to come to the meeting location so as to do the job then you will always have to wait for the interpreter to travel from their present location to where you are. This could be anything from a few hours to a few days. This may not mean much if the meeting is scheduled to take place several days in advance. However if you are called on to hire the interpreter on short notice then it would mean that there will be little chance of getting the interpreter there on time. However our video interpreters are always set and ready to start working as soon as they are hired.
The second advantage is of course cost cutting. With the tough financial times that are upon us it has become necessary to account for every single cent that we spend. To have an interpreter present will accrue costs not just for their services but for accommodating them. You will rarely be lucky to find an interpreter locally and having one come in from elsewhere usually means that you are prepared to handle the added costs. With the Video interpreters you will only ever have to worry about the cost that you will be seeing on your screen. This will be the cost accrued per minute for the service the interpreter offers and not for anything else.
How To Get The Right Video Interpreter
Nobody likes to buy a product only to later realize that the said product does not do the job that it was required to do or that it does the job but not as it was supposed to do it. Our service gets interpreters from all around the world and in different languages. This however means that not all of our interpreters will be suitable for you. Each person will want different things from his or her interpreters and it is impossible to find one who will be able to satisfactorily serve all the clients who make use of our system. This is however one of the greatest advantages of using services such as our video interpreter. Our system is designed to ensure that any of our clients who know what they are looking for will be able to get what they seek all the time.
The first way in which you can make use of our system to ensure that you get what you are looking for is by clearly specifying what requirements your interpreters must fulfill to qualify for the job. When writing down the requirements for a video interpreter, leave no stones unturned. Specify everything that could possibly be required of the interpreter during the job. This is the best way to ensure that you will only get submissions from interpreters who are qualified to do the task. There will be no need for somebody who doesn’t understand French to take a job that requires him to know the language.
How To Ensure Great Ratings As A Video Interpreter
When working as a video interpreter, the best way to pull in more clients is to ensure that you constantly get good ratings from your current clients. Good ratings are a sign that you are an interpreter whose work is dependable. Many employers will prefer an interpreter with good ratings since they have already been tested by others and have been found to be true to the job. Working as a video interpreter can be a bit more challenging than working as an on location interpreter thus you will have to consistently work extra hard to ensure that you get consistently good ratings from the clients.
The first and most important way of getting good ratings is to do the job as is required. The interpretation bit of the job is the most important and thus you must ensure that you translate the message to the desired level of satisfaction. Since you will be dealing with two people who don’t understand each other, you will be the bridge connecting the two and it is your job to ensure that the communication between the two is fast, seamless and most importantly, the message that you pass must not be subject to misinterpretation at any time.
Become A Video Interpreter
In the past, traveling was the biggest setback for interpreters. In most cases, it was not always possible to find a job regularly on the local market. Most of the jobs that were available were in other cities or even countries. This alone had more than a few setbacks. For starters, not many employers were willing to cover the costs of the interpreter’s traveling expenses. In some cases, you would find that the total cost of traveling alone was much more than the interpreter was being paid thus it was not a wise financial idea to travel to another place to work as an interpreter. The other problem was that when traveling, one also had to worry about where he or she was going to stay while working. Accommodation is not always readily available when traveling and it is never available cheaply thus once again this made traveling an unwise financial decision.
Our solution for you was quite simple and that is to completely get rid of the traveling bit of your job. Through our system it is now possible for you to work comfortably from home where you will never have to worry about where you will be staying and you will also never have to worry about how much it will cost you to travel to your work place. Through the Internet, you can now telecommute to a meeting that is happening halfway across the world in a split second, do your job, earn your money and still sleep in your own bed that very night.
