Frequently asked questions
What is on-demand interpretation and how does it work?
On-demand interpretation is a language interpreting service that provides consumers with real-time interpretation services as needed. Boostlingo On-Demand’s application combines technology and human interpreters to give users on-demand language assistance. It works as follow:
- User Request: The user requests an interpretation session using the on-demand interpretation software.
- Interpreter Assignment: The software assigns the best-suited interpretation for the session based on language competence, industry experience, and availability.
- Interpretation Session: The interpreter joins the session via the software, providing real-time interpretation to the user.
- Session End: Once the session is complete, the interpreter exits out of the application and the user is billed for the services performed.
What is phone interpreting and how does it work?
Phone interpreting is a language-based service that facilitates communication between individuals who speak different languages. Unlike on-site interpreting where the interpreter is physically present, it is an audio-only service that is usually conducted over a phone, computer, or tablet. Users can dial in on their chosen platform to acquire phone interpreter services, drop the call, and then call back again when assistance is needed.
What is video remote interpreting and how does it work?
Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) is a telecommunications service that employs cameras on a computer, laptop, or tablet to give sign language or spoken language interpreting services to visually interact with both a requestor and the requestor’s customer or patient.
In contrast to an in-person interpreting experience, video remote interpretation enables individuals to obtain an offsite interpreter on demand to communicate across a language barrier, such as during a session requiring ASL interpreting.
Using a tablet, phone or computer, the interpreter participates in the conversation using audio and video feed. When these parties are located separately, VRI offers flexible options for virtual meetings. The VRI interpreter can be added to an ongoing video conference and perform the same service.
What is simultaneous interpretation and how does it enhance events?
Simultaneous interpretation is an interpretation technique where the interpreter converts a speaker’s message from one language to another in real-time. In virtual events, simultaneous interpretation promotes inclusivity and accessibility by allowing all participants to understand and partake in the event in their preferred language.
What types of remote interpreting services does Boostlingo offer in educational environments?
Boostlingo provides an extensive range of remote interpreter services, including ASL interpretation, through video and over-the-phone interpreting.

What is an interpretation management system?
An Interpretation Management System (IMS) is a software platform designed to facilitate the scheduling, management, and coordination of interpreters for various events and services, such as meetings, conferences, and medical appointments. Here are some key features and functions typically found in an IMS:
- Scheduling and Booking: The system allows organizations to easily schedule and book interpreters for specific dates and times, often with options to select interpreters based on language skills and availability.

What are the benefits of providing a language interpretation service for educational facilities?
Communication with international students
Many higher education facilities have a diverse student body, including students from different countries who may have English as a second language. Accurate interpretation ensures that these students can fully participate in classes, discussions, and other academic activities, without language barriers hindering their understanding.
Effective communication with faculty and staff
Accurate interpretation ensures that faculty and staff can effectively communicate with students and colleagues who may have different language backgrounds or communication styles. This can improve productivity, reduce misunderstandings, and create a more inclusive environment.
Compliance with legal requirements
In some cases, higher education facilities may be required by law to provide interpretation services for students with disabilities or for those who speak a language other than English. Accurate interpretation ensures compliance with these legal requirements.
Improved reputation
Higher education facilities that prioritize accurate interpretation can create a positive reputation for themselves as inclusive and welcoming institutions. This can lead to increased enrollment and improved retention rates for international students.
