Marketwired
Deaf-Talk, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MGQG), dba DT Interpreting (DTI), the
industry leader in on-demand video sign language interpreting,
today announced that commencing November 1, 2012, the Company will
introduce non-English video interpreting service, initially focused
on Spanish, Russian, Arabic, Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese
languages. Rates will be very affordable to provide more access to
those in need.
The new non-English video service will initially be available
during the industry's high use period of Monday through Friday from
8:00a to 5:00p with plans to increase hours and languages offered
as demand warrants. DTI has long offered such non-English
over-the-phone interpreting and has a network of 1000 interpreters
who are experienced in medical terms and skilled native speakers of
180 languages.
David Stauffer, DTI President, stated, "Industry studies show
that visual interaction with an interpreter helps to ease anxiety
for a patient of limited English proficiency. It also increases
effectiveness in special situations such as explanations of
equipment use or for hospital discharge procedures. Such
improvement in patient communications raises the standard of care
for healthcare facilities, which DTI continuously strives to
impact."
Rates for the new non-English video interpreting service are
quite affordable because the Company is, in essence, marrying
aspects of two services already offered: the Internet-based DT
Video Hub and multi-language over the phone interpreting. DT Video
Hub integrates with existing dedicated video conferencing equipment
as well as Internet-connected tablets, PC notebooks, MACs, iPhones,
iPads and Android mobile phones.
