“Having Wordskii Live by patient bedsides in wards means we can access an interpreter when the consultant arrives, instead of booking one for the hour! It’s a game changer for our wards and staff.”

Learn how we helped Women’s Aid through video interpreting
In response to Women’s Aid’s need for security and sensitivity, we composed a bespoke language service to support them.
We devised an anonymised booking system for Women’s Aid, allowing them to access our linguists without revealing any information about the identities or whereabouts of the people they help.
Frequently asked questions
Do we need to pre-book video interpreting calls or is the service available on-demand?
With Wordskii Live, you can pre-book or connect to an interpreter on-demand. We are able to help you access an interpreter both in advance of a meeting or in last-minute circumstances where you need to connect with an interpreter immediately.
How many participants can join a video interpreting call?
Whilst our Wordskii Live video interpreting platform can support up to 50 participants, we ask that users keep the number of participants to retain the maximum bandwidth and video quality for the interpreter.
How can I add another participant onto the video interpretation call?
There are a number of ways that you can add another participant onto a video interpreting call. You will receive an SMS message and/or email notification (whichever you prefer) with all the relevant information and a link to join the video conference. You can share this with up to nine other parties in the call. All telephone calls are secure and confidential.
How much does video interpretation cost?
Like most services, the more you use it the cheaper it becomes. However, to offer the best deal to our customers, our video interpreting costs are based per minute and you pay as you go or you can buy one off bundles for maximum convenience.
What if my 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 video interpreting session after the pre-booked time has elapsed so please ensure that you initially book for the correct time.
