The Right Interpreting Option

There are three standard interpreting options: VRI, OPI, and on-site. Due to the needs and preferences of clients, interpreting assignments can vary; therefore, only some interpretation options are a great fit. Choosing the right option depends on purpose, availability, location, and preference.

Interpreting in Omaha, NE

In some cities, clients will be confronted with limited resources for certain language combinations. The interpreting market is supply-and-demand orientated and explains the interpreting situation overall. The resource is most likely deficient if a city has a low need for a specific language. For example, Omaha, NE, is the home of a French-speaking community, and the resources for French interpreting are higher than in other cities.

Besides Spanish and ASL, the greater area of Omaha, NE, is the home of French, Nepali, Marathi (and other Indic languages), Swahili, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Arabic, German, Tagalog, and Telugu. As a result, it is easier to locate an interpreter within the communities mentioned above than to find an interpreter within a community that does not exist in a specific city. Omaha is diverse and has a lot of opportunities to make an on-site interpreting assignment happen. But even if a client needs a language combination that cannot be found in Omaha, VRI and OPI are great options.

Moving Forward with Interpreting!

The world changes, and it changes fast. We are constantly moving, and so do different industries. The language services world has to adapt and analyze the current situation to move forward with language services. Within interpreting services, many needs have shifted over the past few years. A lot of on-site interpreting assignments turned into OPI and VRI. Even in industries that weren’t imaginable to fully VRI, like the legal industry. For example, courts and lawyers requested many VRI interpreting assignments during the pandemic for their cases.
