What are interpretation services?
Interpretation services provide a live, qualified interpreter to convert spoken (or signed) communication between languages in real time. Formats include phone interpretation (OPI), video remote interpretation (VRI), onsite interpretation, simultaneous interpretation for conferences, and ASL/CART for deaf and hard-of-hearing participants.
Some conversations only happen once
A diagnosis that has to be understood, testimony that has to be exact, a parent finally being heard at an IEP meeting — when the people in the room don't share a language, 'close enough' interpretation risks patient safety, case outcomes, and compliance with Title VI, Section 1557, and the ADA.
The right interpreter, in the right format, since 2009
Taika Translations connects hospitals, courts, school districts, agencies, and businesses with professional interpreters from a 2,000+ linguist network — in 300+ languages, 24/7, on GSA and NASPO ValuePoint contracts, with a 5.0★ Google rating. We don't sell you one modality; we match the format to the moment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of interpretation do I need — phone, video, or onsite?
Phone (OPI) is fastest for unpredictable, audio-only conversations. Video (VRI) adds visual cues and supports sign language without travel costs. Onsite puts the interpreter in the room for high-stakes settings like court or complex medical care. Simultaneous (RSI) serves conferences where everyone must follow live. If you're unsure, tell us the setting — we'll recommend the right fit.
How fast can I get an interpreter?
On-demand phone interpretation is available 24/7 with no scheduling — you connect on the same call. Video, onsite, and conference interpretation are scheduled; tell us your dates and we'll confirm availability, usually the same business day.
What languages do you cover?
300+ languages, including the highest-demand U.S. languages — Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Russian, Korean, Tagalog, Haitian Creole — plus American Sign Language and rare languages most agencies can't staff.
Does interpretation satisfy our language-access obligations?
Qualified interpretation is a core requirement of meaningful language access under Title VI and, for healthcare, Section 1557 — and ASL/CART supports ADA effective-communication obligations. Pair spoken interpretation with translated vital documents for a complete program; we provide both.
How is interpretation priced?
Typically by the minute (phone/video) or by the hour/session (onsite, RSI, ASL/CART), depending on language and volume. Request a quote with your settings and expected usage — pricing comes back the same business day.
Can the same vendor handle our document translation too?
Yes — most interpretation clients also use Taika for written translation, from certified documents to multilingual notices, so spoken and written language access run through one accountable vendor.
