Language Translation, Inc.’s over-the-phone interpreting service, SpeakEasy, has been featured in a Wall Street Journal article comparing telephonic interpreting providers.
Here at Language Translation Inc., we were pleased to see our new telephonic interpreting service featured in a recent article from the Wall Street Journal.
Written by Sarah Nassauer, Making Yourself Understood in Beijing compares four telephonic interpreting services, including our service, SpeakEasy. The over-the-phone interpreting systems were tested in various situations in different countries.
Our service got its first try in a New Delhi restaurant:
“In New Delhi, India, we tested Language Translation Inc., a U.S.-based translation and interpretation services that started a 24-hour telephone interpretation services early this year. After sitting down in a restaurant in southern Delhi, we called the interpreter to explain that we wanted a wheat-free recommendation from the waiter. After being connected quickly, we passed the phone to the waiter, who immediately gave it to a superior who spoke to the interpreter for several minutes. After a series of questions and passing the phone back and forth we decided to order a dosa (a large south Indian style crepe), which the waiter promised via the interpreter is "always, always" made with rice. All parties seemed tolerant of the back and forth.”
Subsequent tests of our SpeakEasy telephone interpreting system took place in busy New Delhi streets: a cab trip “went smoothly,’ even though a later call in an autorickshaw did suffer from loud traffic noise — as any phone call could.
The team at Language Translation, Inc. is proud of this thumbs-up from the national press. Located in San Diego, California, we have been providing language services to companies in the USA and abroad since 1989.
