Former Employee – worked at LanguageLine Solutions

Pros – Once an account is opened, it's very easy to access services by phone from wherever you are and to whomever you are trying to reach. Services are generally accurate and professional. Never had a problem with the interpreter on the other line.

Cons – You don't really know the expertise level of the interpreter until you start the conversation. There is no way to know if all the fine points of the conversation including the person's attitude has been accurately conveyed. Always left with a feeling that maybe something was missed. But better than nothing. As an interpreter myself, I have heard some things that were missed.

Advice to Senior Management – Develop a rating system and a database of expertise types such a medical, legal, technical, scientific, mechanical, etc.. Also provide help with trauma issues since the interpreter has to hear some awful things that keep one awake nights.
