ASL FAQs

What is ASL interpretation?

ASL interpreting is the process of converting spoken English into American Sign Language (ASL) and vice versa to enable clear communication between Deaf or Hard of Hearing individuals and those who do not use sign language. Because ASL has its own grammar and structure, professional ASL interpreters convey meaning and intent, not just words.

ASL interpreter services are provided on-site or through Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) in healthcare, legal, education, and business settings. These services help organizations ensure equal access and meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

Am I legally required to provide an ASL interpreter?

Yes. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Title II and Title III, covered entities must provide effective communication for individuals who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. This often requires providing a qualified ASL interpreter when necessary to ensure equal access to services.

How do you choose an ASL interpretation company?

The right ASL interpretation company combines qualified interpreters, dependable availability, secure technology, and experience in your environment. Prioritizing these criteria helps ensure clear communication, reduced risk, and a better experience for Deaf and Hard of hearing individuals.

What is the difference between on-site ASL interpretation and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)?

On-site ASL interpretation involves a certified interpreter physically present, while VRI allows for real-time remote interpretation through a secure video connection.

What is the difference between VRI and VRS?

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) and Video Relay Service (VRS) are both services that use an ASL interpreter over video, but they serve different purposes.

VRI is an on-demand ASL interpreting service used by organizations during in-person interactions such as medical appointments, legal proceedings, or business meetings. The interpreter appears on a secure video platform to facilitate communication between Deaf and hearing participants in the same location. VRS is a federally regulated telephone service that allows Deaf individuals to make and receive phone calls through a remote ASL interpreter. VRS is funded by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and is primarily used for phone communication.

In short, VRI supports in-person communication needs, while VRS is designed for telephone calls.

How quickly can I connect with Boostlingo ASL interpreting?

With Boostlingo ASL Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), most users connect to a qualified ASL interpreter in 40 seconds or less, with a 92% fill rate. For scheduled ASL interpreting services, we recommend booking in advance to ensure interpreter availability at your preferred time.

Does Boostlingo offer ASL interpretation for healthcare settings?

Yes, we provide HIPAA-compliant ASL interpretation for healthcare environments, including doctor’s appointments, hospitals, clinics, behavioral health visits, and emergency care. Our Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) services support clear communication between providers and Deaf or Hard of Hearing patients in both scheduled and urgent situations.

Does Boostlingo offer ASL interpretation for legal settings?

Pricing for ASL interpreting depends on factors like session length, interpreting format (VRI or on-site), and industry requirements. Contact us for a custom quote based on your organization’s needs.

Why is remote ASL interpreting important?

Remote ASL interpreting, also known as Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), provides immediate access to qualified ASL interpreters when an on-site interpreter is unavailable. It helps organizations ensure effective communication for Deaf and Hard of Hearing individuals in healthcare, legal, education, and business settings.

Remote ASL services reduce wait times, improve accessibility in rural or underserved areas, and support compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). By delivering secure, real-time interpretation over video, VRI helps organizations provide equal access to services without delays.

Does Boostlingo support different ASL dialects and regional variations?

Yes. Our qualified ASL interpreters are trained to work across American Sign Language dialects and regional variations to ensure accurate, culturally competent communication.

This includes Black American Sign Language (BASL), a recognized ASL dialect that developed through historically separate educational systems and includes distinct vocabulary, grammar, and signing style.

We also match clients with interpreters familiar with regional ASL variations across the United States, helping ensure clarity in healthcare settings, legal proceedings, educational environments, and business interactions.
