Not SIP-enabled?
SIP is the most efficient method to connect to LanguageLine during virtual meetings and telehealth sessions, but we understand some clients do not have this option available.
LanguageLine can also be accessed during telehealth and virtual sessions via platforms that support "call out" access (to connect to audio interpreters in 240 languages, 24/7) and "send invite" access (to invite a video interpreter to a session during weekday business hours for American Sign Language, Arabic, Cantonese, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Mandarin).
