Voiance Employee Interpreters Make the Difference

Training

Our Employees receive over 120 hours of training and receive ongoing quality monitoring and education

Dependable

Employees are scheduled by a full- time workforce management team to meet demand.

At Voiance, we use employee interpreters operating out of US-Based contact centers in Arizona and New Mexico. These employees handle the vast majority of our call volumes.

Training

Each employee candidate completes 120 hours of classroom instruction to perform effective Over-the-Phone Interpretation (OPI) for specific industries. The training course provides a full week of practicum where candidates work directly under an experienced interpreter. Classroom sessions and practical exercises include:

  • Excellence in each interpreter role
  • Preventing interpretation errors
  • Short term memory and note-taking skills
  • Interpretation protocols and session management

Quality Monitoring

A team of interpreter quality specialists and interpreter team supervisors monitor each interpreter at a target frequency of four times a week. Each monitoring session evaluates each interpreter's level of competency to facilitate continuous professional development. Depending on the outcome of the assessments, interpreters may receive awards, coaching, retraining, or other corrective actions.

We also appreciate and encourage feedback from clients regarding interpreter performance.
