Over-the-Phone Language Interpretation Pricing

Trusted Translations’ phone interpretation rates are based on a price per minute that varies depending on the language, the complexity of the subject matter and the overall volume in minutes. It is important to understand the different terminology used in connection with live telephone interpretation rates and pricing. Telephone interpretation is also referred to as: human phone interpretation, phone translation, telephone translation, human phone translation services and over-the-phone interpretation services.

While in-person interpretation services are normally charged by the hour with a minimum number of hours, most OPI services are on-demand and charged by the minute. An additional rate may apply to the phone interpretation price if you need to connect to a third party via telephone. This charge is normal and is intended to cover the long-distance charges of connecting to another telephone. You can avoid these charges by setting up a conference bridge prior to the call.

At Trusted Translations, we understand that while you and your organization have clear objectives, you also have budget constraints. We have thus structured our over-the-phone interpretation service so that it is not only easy to use but also extremely cost effective. We charge a flat per-minute fee depending on the language pair. Thus, if all you need is 17 minutes, you only get billed for 17 minutes. Further, you will also save by avoiding travel and insurance costs often associated with in-person interpretation services.
