Language Interpretation Services
Consecutive Interpretation
Latitude Prime offers consecutive interpretation services in more than 300 languages and dialects. Most commonly used in one-on-one or small group settings, consecutive interpreting involves one person speaking, followed by a brief pause to allow the interpreter to relay the message in the language(s) involved to the other party.
Our professional, certified interpreters go through our strict recruitment and vetting process and are experts in specific subject areas, such as medical/healthcare, legal, business & finance, and community interpreting. They maintain strict standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and they possess exceptional linguistic and interpersonal skills to help facilitate communications between two (and sometimes more) languages.
From legal depositions and courtroom proceedings to doctor’s visits and business meetings, Latitude Prime will work with you to find the most effective means of communicating in multiple languages.
Simultaneous Interpretation
Also referred to as “Conference Interpreting,” simultaneous interpreting involves communicating between foreign languages in near real-time, without the pauses involved in consecutive interpretation. It is typically used for large conferences, meetings, or speeches/presentations, and is a much more complex and strenuous process than consecutive interpretation. The interpreters usually sit in an isolated booth, listen to the speaker through a headset, and speak nearly simultaneously into a microphone, which is then wirelessly transmitted to headsets/receivers worn by the audience members.
Our professional, certified simultaneous/conference interpreters go through our strict recruitment and vetting process and are experts in specific subject areas, such as the life sciences, political science, medicine, engineering, etc. They maintain strict standards of professionalism, confidentiality, and they possess exceptional linguistic and interpersonal skills to help facilitate communications between two (and sometimes more) languages.
Additionally, Latitude Prime can provide all of the specialized equipment necessary to host a simultaneous interpreting event, including booths (partially or fully enclosed), transmitters, receivers/headsets, microphones, and more. We can also provide an on-site technician to set up and install the equipment, monitor and troubleshoot during the event, and strike the equipment when the event is completed. For larger events that involve multiple languages and interpreters, we can provide on-site project management support to help ensure that your event runs as smoothly as possible.

Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) Services
The global marketplace continues to bring businesses and consumers together from all over the world as well as providing support for Limited English Proficient (LEP) communities here in the United States. As a result, foreign language interpretation services have become indispensable.
However, for some customers, on-site interpretation costs can be prohibitive or interpreters for a particular language may not be available when and where you need them. This is where Latitude Prime’s video remote interpreting (VRI) service can help.
Utilizing the latest technology, Latitude Prime offers on-demand VRI support in more than 300 languages and dialects, including American Sign Language (ASL). This allows non-English speaking or deaf/hard of hearing individuals to communicate effectively, with all the benefits of a face-to-face interpreter and the simplicity of over-the-phone interpretation.
Our cutting-edge system provides a HIPAA-compliant, cloud-based solution that does not require any additional IT support. All you need to do is login to our proprietary client portal through your webcam-enabled desktop computer or smartphone (with broadband Internet connection) and you can connect with one of our interpreters within minutes.
All of our professional foreign language and sign language interpreters are certified and all have gone through our rigorous recruitment and vetting process. Our specially-trained customer service representatives are also available to assist if you are unable to identify the language or dialect you need.
Furthermore, our interpreters are also subject matter experts (SMEs) in a variety of specialized fields, such as legal, medical/healthcare, human resources, and more. Our VRI solutions are also fully compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Interpretation Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of interpretation services does Latitude Prime offer?
Latitude Prime provides On-Site Interpretation (OSI), Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI), Video Remote Interpretation (VRI), and American Sign Language (ASL) services. We support consecutive and simultaneous interpreting across more than 300 spoken and signed languages.
2. How do I request a quote for interpretation services?
Simply contact us through our website or call us toll-free at (888) 341- 9080, and we would be happy to discuss your needs, requirements, and expectations so that we can determine which of our comprehensive interpretation services provides the best fit for your needs. Some things to keep in mind are the date/time of the assignment, number of attendees, language(s) being spoken, subject matter, whether you prefer “consecutive” or “simultaneous” interpretation, and when you require an interpreter located on-site or remote. All of these will be factored into your quote.
3. What is the difference between “consecutive” and “simultaneous” interpretation?
In consecutive interpretation, the interpreter speaks after the speaker finishes a sentence or idea. In simultaneous interpretation, the interpreter conveys the message in real-time while the speaker is talking, often using headsets or interpreting equipment. Each is suited for different settings, such as medical appointments (consecutive) or conferences (simultaneous).
4. Do you offer “remote” interpretation services?
Yes, Latitude Prime offers both Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) and Video Remote Interpretation (VRI) services to meet a wide range of communication needs.
Unlike on-site interpretation, which is typically billed hourly with a 2–4 hour minimum, our OPI and VRI services are charged by the minute with no minimum requirement (unless scheduled in advance). This makes them a flexible and cost-effective solution for on-demand or short- duration interpreting needs.
Our OPI/VRI platform uses advanced call-routing technology to connect you quickly and reliably. Even if you’re unsure of the language, our trained operators can assist in identifying it. We guarantee interpreter connection within 30 seconds and maintain a 99.98% platform uptime for maximum reliability. Best of all, no special equipment is required – just a phone, smartphone, tablet, or computer with basic audio or video capabilities. Whether you’re at a hospital, government office, courtroom, or corporate site, our remote interpretation services are designed to be accessible, secure, and easy to use.
5. Do you offer American Sign Language (ASL) Interpretation?
Yes, we offer ASL interpretation, using only RID-certified interpreters and CDI interpreters (when needed). Our ASL services can be provided on-site at your location or access through our VRI platform.

Latitude Prime combines responsive customer service, 10,000+ expert linguists, and a commitment to cultural competence.
