There may be some confusion from the hearing callers because calls are subject to:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Pause\/Delay throughout the call due to interpretation<\/li>
  • Robotic sound during VI transfer<\/li>
  • Unexpected voice or a change in voice if the VI is transferred to the call<\/li><\/ul>

    \u00a0<\/p>

    Therefore, informing hearing callers that a Video interpreter (VI) is interpreting ASL\/LSQ to English\/French can help avoid confusion. Before the VI connects the call, let the interpreter (VI) know you would like to self-announce. Once you are connected with the hearing caller, here are some examples of ways to self-announce:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    1.\tInform the hearing person an interpreter is present. <\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Example: \u201cMy name is Bill, and I have a sign language interpreter on the call.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    2.\tInform the person you are calling that there may be a pause or delay from time to time due to the interpretation. <\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Example: \u201cAn interpreter is translating our call, and there may be brief delays throughout the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
