Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI)
Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI) is language support provided by phone, allowing two or more parties to communicate through a professional interpreter without an in-person meeting. It is well suited to short conversations, urgent needs, intake calls, customer service interactions, and situations where in-person support is not practical. Even for brief or urgent calls, ILG coordinates the right interpreter for the language and setting rather than simply connecting the next available line.
