VRI: Real-time, convenient, and affordable American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting services using web-based video technology.

Within minutes, DSU can provide access to the most qualified, certified, and specialized interpreters.

Preparing For VRI Services

VRI expands your local area, allowing communication access to still take place when interpreters within commuting distance of your location are unavailable.

Imagine being able to access a qualified interpreter from anywhere! With VRI, the interpreter facilitates communication remotely using web-based video technology. VRI can be used in a variety of settings, whether the hearing and Deaf participants are together in one location or also meeting remotely.

If last-minute schedule changes, interpreter cancellations, or lack of on-site resources are making it difficult to accommodate Deaf and hard of hearing individuals, your partners at DSU can help!
