Over-the-Phone Interpretation is the quiet workhorse. No app. No browser. No install. A caller dials a Canadian number, chooses a language, and is joined by a certified interpreter on a three-way call.

We support direct-dial numbers for specific languages, client-code billing for departmental tracking, and 911-compatible escalation paths. OPI is the right modality for triage, pharmacy counters, and community-services intake, any place where a device screen is friction.

Where this modality earns its keep.

  • Pharmacy and counter services

    Fast handoff when a patient approaches a counter mid-shift.

  • 24/7 helplines

    Community crisis and public-health lines with three-way conferencing.

  • Field responders

    Social workers and home-care teams where mobile data is unreliable.

A 20-minute walkthrough with an account manager, scoped to your workflow. No generic deck.
