When you need to communicate in real time, Avantpage interpreter services can help your voice reach across languages. It’s hard to work efficiently or achieve your goals without an interpreter. If your audience doesn’t fully understand you, then they won’t benefit from the services or information you provide. Avantpage’s interpreter services help your organization communicate clearly and effectively. We provide quality over-the-phone interpreting (OPI), video remote interpreting (VRI), or in-person interpreter services. Interpreters enable multilingual communication in a variety of scenarios, from medical appointments to member services calls to interpreting at the polls.
We work with a vast network of talented and professional interpreters to provide interpreting services in more than 150 languages, including American Sign Language (ASL). Our interpreters are 100% fluent in their working languages, accredited, domain specialized, and possess a minimum of three years of experience.
You no longer need to coordinate with multiple individuals or agencies to fulfill your interpreting needs. Avantpage has a solution for you, whatever your situation. Improve outcomes and foster more fulfilling interactions with professional interpreter services.
When you use an interpreter service, you need to trust that your provider has the right terminology and understanding of your industry to effectively assist you with your call, video appointment, or event. With decades of experience working with health plans, hospitals, and government agencies, we understand the unique needs of our clients and select our linguists accordingly. Our interpreters are experts in your field and trained to adapt their communication style to different contexts and situations.
Government Interpreting:
Engaging Your Community
Government agencies at every level work with interpreters to ensure that their local LEP communities can access critical public services and have their voices heard at community meetings and beyond.
Elections Interpreting:
Helping Voters in Real Time
Election offices and their partners work with professional interpreters during outreach events and at the polls to ensure that LEP voters are engaged, registered, informed, and able to fully participate on election day.
Healthcare Interpreting:
Connecting You to Patients
Healthcare organizations use interpreter services to ensure that patients and members fully understand their medical situation and can ask the questions they need to play an active role in their healthcare journey. This promotes health equity, person-centered care, and informed decision-making.
Different situations call for different kinds of interpretation services. Your needs are unique, and we offer several different interpreter service types to meet them. Whether you need a professional interpreter to help facilitate a phone or video call, or you prefer them to provide assistance onsite, our interpreting teams convey your message in more than 150 languages. See below for some use case examples for each type of interpretation service.
OVER-THE-PHONE INTERPRETING (OPI) SERVICES
Great for on-demand service via a phone line, OPI offers a simple solution that allows you to tap into a wide network of interpreters from remote locations. OPI works well for phone appointments, emergency calls, and member or user helplines.
VIDEO REMOTE INTERPRETING (VRI) SERVICES
Good for on demand or pre-scheduled remote appointments, an interpreter will join your conversation via the video calling platform of your choice. This offers a more personal touch for medical appointments, hospital visits, and more.
ONSITE INTERPRETER SERVICES
Ideal for in-person interactions, onsite interpreting services leverage visual cues and eliminate the need for technology. An interpreter, skilled in both spoken and sign language, visits your location to assist during appointments, meetings, or events.
EVENT INTERPRETER SERVICES
Interpreting teams join your virtual or onsite event and enable multilingual communication in as many languages as you need. They’ll also help with chat moderation and provide technical support for virtual events.

"I have used Avantpage’s translation services for several years, and they always exceed my expectations (and those of my clients). When working with a client like Wells Fargo, who expects jobs to be done correctly the first time, I cannot partner with any suppliers who are not able to meet that standard. Avantpage does a great job, every time."

Frequently Asked Questions About Interpreter Services
What are interpreter services, and why are they important?
Interpreter services enable clear communication between individuals who speak different languages. These services are crucial in ensuring that people with limited English proficiency (LEP) or individuals with disabilities (such as being deaf or hard of hearing) can access essential services, such as healthcare, education, or government services. Effective interpreter services help bridge communication gaps, promoting language access and inclusion.
How do I know if I need an interpreter?
If you or someone you’re communicating with does not speak or understand the language being used, an interpreter is essential. This is particularly important in sensitive situations, such as when healthcare providers need to explain medical information or when an individual is seeking critical services through government programs. It’s important to use professional interpreters instead of relying on family members, especially for complex topics like medical records or legal matters. Learn about the qualifications our legal interpreters must have before they work with you.
How quickly can I access an interpreter?
Avantpage offers on-demand interpreter services through our platform, AvantInterpret, allowing you to connect with a professional interpreter in as little as 30 seconds. Whether you need an interpreter for a quick phone call, a video consultation, or an in-person meeting, we ensure seamless, fast access to language services.
Avantpage offers language services in over 150 languages, including Spanish, French, Mandarin Chinese, and languages of lesser diffusion like indigenous languages.

Do you provide language services to people with disabilities?
Absolutely! Interpreter services are crucial for individuals with disabilities, including those who are hard of hearing or deaf, by ensuring effective communication for individuals with disabilities in various settings, including medical appointments, meetings, and events. Our sign language interpreters ensure that individuals with disabilities can fully engage and understand the services they are receiving. Learn how to work with a sign language interpreter.
