Video Remote Interpreting is the interpretation of phone calls between ÍTM and Icelandic speakers. The video call also includes an interpreter who is a neutral mediator of the conversation.
The service is available every weekday, between 9.00 and 16.00, and does not need to be booked in advance.
A special time can be requested in advance in the Video Remote Interpreting app, and SHH tries to comply with those requests if possible.
In an emergency, contact the emergency hotline 112, they will send out request for an interpreter.
