What this service covers

Is on-site right for this?

On-site interpreting remains the most effective option for high-stakes, emotionally complex, or highly interactive communication. An interpreter in the room can read the space, manage turn-taking among several speakers, and pick up the visual context that a camera frame cuts out.

We match each assignment on more than availability. Subject matter familiarity, register, signing style, and consumer preference all factor into who we send. When you are set up with ULS in advance, most requests move from submitted to matched quickly, and our fulfillment rate across all request types is 97%.

Questions

Common questions

How much notice do you need for an on-site request?
Standard requests need at least 72 hours' notice. Anything sooner is handled as an urgent request by a coordinator, and it is still worth submitting. Clients already set up in our system move fastest because vendor onboarding is already complete.
Can we request the same interpreter for recurring appointments?
Yes. Continuity matters, especially in medical and mental health settings, and we schedule for it wherever the interpreter's availability allows.
What areas do you cover?
We coordinate on-site interpreting nationwide. Coverage in a specific location depends on interpreter availability, and we will tell you directly if a request is difficult to fill.
