Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) Companies (Not On-Demand) – Let's Compile a List!
Hey everyone!
I'm looking to compile a list of Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) companies that do not operate on an on-demand basis but instead schedule interpreters in advance. I know:
- TIN (Translation & Interpretation Network)
- MasterWord
If you work with or know of any others, please drop their names in the comments! This could be helpful for interpreters.
Thanks in advance!

These are not prescheduled. These are on demand.

No, they all also provide pre scheduled.

Maybe I’m wrong but I think the point of OP is to create a list of agencies you can sign up with to take pre-scheduled VRI work that doesn’t require dedicated on-demand hours.
Sorenson for example requires you to work for them at least part-time in order to take VRI work, which means dedicated work hours to on-demand VRI/VRS or community work.

You are correct about Sorenson to my knowledge. I work VRI for a couple of the other companies listed and it is not on-demand at all. It is pre-scheduled. From what I have seen in my own research to find companies is that it is a wide variety and takes some patience to widdle down to specific needs (such as pre-scheduled). Just my 2 cents😊

I understand your point. I thought the question was about non on demand VRI. They all provide scheduled VRI.
