      FAQs

      Customer service interpreting services provide live or automated language support for contact center calls, helping agents communicate with callers who speak different languages. These services integrate with IVR systems and agent workflows to deliver fast, accurate interpretation without disrupting call handling.
      Phone interpreting allows agents or inbound call systems to connect callers to professional interpreters on demand. Interpreters can be accessed through click-to-connect tools, IVR menus, or automated call routing, enabling real-time multilingual communication during customer interactions.

      DirectResponse connects callers to an interpreter before the call reaches an agent by using in-language IVR prompts and automated routing. Click-to-connect interpreting is agent-initiated and allows agents to bring an interpreter into a live call as needed.

      Automated Interpreter uses AI to deliver real-time voice interpretation for routine, low-complexity inbound calls without waiting for a live interpreter. It helps call centers manage high call volumes efficiently and includes seamless escalation to human interpreters when conversations require additional expertise.

      Yes. Customer service interpreting solutions are designed to integrate with existing IVR platforms, toll-free numbers, and contact center telephony systems, allowing organizations to add language support without replacing their current infrastructure.
      Interpreting services reduce call handle time by eliminating language identification delays, automating call routing, and providing immediate access to interpreters. This allows agents to focus on resolving customer issues more efficiently.
      LanguageLine supports over 240 languages for audio interpreting, enabling contact centers to serve a diverse customer base with consistent language access across inbound and outbound calls.

      AI interpreting is best suited for routine, low-risk calls such as balance checks or appointment confirmations. Live interpreters are recommended for complex, sensitive, or high-stakes conversations, with seamless escalation available between the two.

      LanguageLine is an invaluable service that we utilize to communicate promptly and efficiently with persons who have been a victim of a crime or need police assistance. A language barrier should never prevent anyone from getting the help or service they need. "

      Barton Health Logo

      We were with one of the larger VRI providers, but the long connect times [with prior provider] were becoming an issue for our staff. After trialing with LanguageLine, our ED staff refused to beta a third company because “it can’t get any better than this. "

      — Tracy Young, MA, BSN, RN, Spanish Medical Interpreter, Barton Health

      Centura Logo

      We found the LanguageLine VRI performance to be significantly and consistently better and response times quicker [than existing provider]. Their dedication to the project shined through, and I can’t praise them enough. "
