On-Side Interpretation

LinkingVoices in-person interpretation connects your organization with certified interpreters across a wide range of languages for the moments that matter face-to-face. Our highly trained professionals support clear, accurate communication in healthcare, legal proceedings, corporate meetings, factory/shop-floor walk-throughs, community events, education settings, and more.

Why choose on-site interpretation

  • Human nuance: Body language, tone, and cultural context handled in real time.
  • High-stakes accuracy: Ideal for consent, testimony, HR matters, negotiations, and compliance.
  • Stakeholder trust: In-room presence builds rapport and reduces misunderstandings.
  • Noise & complexity tolerant: Works well in clinics, courtrooms, warehouses, and events.

Use cases

  • Healthcare: Intake, informed consent, care planning, discharge, family conferences.
  • Legal & public sector: Hearings, depositions, client interviews, victim assistance.
  • Corporate: Board/exec meetings, labor relations, audits, training, safety briefings.
  • Education & community: IEP meetings, parent–teacher conferences, town halls.
  • Events: Conferences, vendor summits, site tours, press briefings.
