Do we need to pre-book telephone interpreting calls or is the service available on demand?
With our proprietary telephone interpreting system, Wordskii, our clients have the flexibility to book an interpreter in advance or use our on-demand service. We offer complete flexibility to suit the needs of your organisation.
How many people can I add on to a telephone interpreting conference?
The Wordskii telephone interpreting system is designed to allow an unlimited number of participants onto a telephone interpreting conference call; however, for the interpreter to communicate effectively, we would advise that they interpret for a maximum of 2 people per session to avoid confusion.
Will I get the same interpreter for multiple telephone interpreting sessions?
The Wordskii telephone interpreting system uses intelligent allocation. For our on-demand service, the system will always try to contact interpreters that you have worked with before for a better interpreting experience, however this is not always possible and you will be connected to the next available interpreter.
If there is a particular interpreter that you would like to use for a telephone interpreting session, we suggest that you book in advance so that a member of our customer service team can find a time when your preferred interpreter is available.
What if my telephone interpreting call goes on for longer than expected?
For the single use services, once you have used up all of your pre-paid minutes, you will need to top-up your credits to continue your session.
If you are a contracted customer with monthly billing and you have pre-booked an interpreter for a set time, you can continue your call and the additional time will be charged to your account.
For pre-booked sessions, please note, that the interpreter may not be able to stay on the telephone interpretation session after the pre-booked time has elapsed so please ensure that you initially book for the correct time.
