PURPLE VRI BEST PRACTICES

Purple VRI Basics

When the session begins, the VI will greet you.

Video interpreters relay your spoken English in American Sign Language (ASL), so there may be a delay between when you say something and when the interpreter signs to the individual. The video interpreter will let you know if you need to speak at a slower pace.

The VI may begin to sign to the deaf individual, ensuring a good match.

Before the session begins, check that your equipment is plugged-in and on.

The VI may determine

two VIs are needed

during a VRI session.

This is determined on

several factors, including

the number of partici-

pants and complexity of

the conversation.

For the best communication, the hearing individual(s) need to

sit in front of the microphone. The deaf individual(s) need to sit

in front of the camera.

To ensure you and your

participants receive the

best VRI session experi-

ence, the VI may ask you

to move to a different

seat or location, or adjust

the microphone, sight-

line, placement of the

VRI device or lighting.

Let the VI know the participant names and the purpose of the interpreting session (meeting, emergency, appointment, etc.).

Is Purple VRI right for me?VRI is ideal for a one-on-one conversation or with several people in the room. While Purple VRI is an excellent option for immediate, on-demand interpreting sessions, it is not a comprehensive replacement for on-site interpreting services. Purple VRI may not be the best solution in situations involving multiple participants without a firm speaking protocol, complex exchanges or sessions with individuals who have a secondary disability (i.e. low vision) that may impede their ability to understand the remote video interpreter.
