Hear from your fellow interpreters in France, the US and the UK about how the video relay industries in their countries began and what impacts their practice in more recent times. 

In our UK section, we discuss how COVID has affected video relay interpreting and individual interpreters, and how you can adapt to the future working landscape.

  3. Hear advice from an experienced VRS/Remote Interpreter regarding developing yourself further in this field and adapting to its future
  4. Examine some pros and cons of video relay interpreting when used in police settings.
