Interpretation
On-site, phone, and video interpreting matched to the situation — a real person on the line, not a call-center queue.
from $1.50/minute (phone) · $85/hour (on-site, 2-hour minimum)
Book ahead when you can — same-day phone interpreting is often available
What it is
Interpretation happens in real time, under pressure — an appointment is starting, a meeting is scheduled, a deposition is on the record. We offer three formats matched to the situation: on-site interpreting for in-person meetings and appointments, phone interpreting (OPI) for fast, low-setup situations, and video interpreting (VRI) for remote meetings that benefit from seeing the interpreter.
Who it's for
- Individuals needing a phone or video interpreter for a medical, legal, or government appointment.
- Businesses needing on-site interpreting for meetings, depositions, or events.
- Institutions needing a reliable interpreting vendor for recurring appointments with non-English-speaking clients or patients.
Where we interpret
- On-site: clinic and hospital appointments, legal depositions and hearings, business meetings and negotiations, government and immigration appointments
- Phone (OPI): quick medical or customer-service calls, appointment scheduling calls, short-notice situations
- Video (VRI): remote business meetings, telehealth appointments, situations where visual cues matter but travel isn’t practical
What's included
- An interpreter matched to the setting (medical, legal, business, government)
- A confirmed start time and duration before the assignment begins
- On-site: a 2-hour minimum booking, billed in half-hour increments after that
- Phone & video: billed per minute, in whole minutes

Lead time
Held in check, not urgent: if your appointment is today, call the Westlake office directly — (305) 204-6582 — and we’ll tell you honestly what’s available, rather than promising a match we can’t confirm.
A real interpreter, not a queue
- Real, specific interpreting moments — a clinic, a courtroom, a business meeting — never a generic call-center framing.
- Confirmed start time and duration before the assignment begins, not an open-ended booking.
- On-site interpreting from a real Westlake office, not a routing platform.
