The benefits of using interpreting apps in the legal industry

Interpreters play a crucial role in the legal industry by bridging language barriers between parties involved in legal proceedings.

Every day, in-person interpreters provide their services during court appearances, medical assessments and client interviews, however, it can be difficult and costly to access high quality interpreters when they are needed in particular languages or at specific locations. 

When used as an alternative to in-person interpreting, Samanta will be able to provide several benefits to the legal industry:

Facilitating communication via video calling: Interpreters help to facilitate effective communication between parties that speak different languages. Therefore, it is not always necessary that interpreters are physically present during medical assessments for claims or private interviews between solicitors and clients. Samanta’s live interpreters will ensure that all parties involved in legal proceedings get instant access to an interpreter who speaks their language, reducing the risk of misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

Ensuring accurate and complete testimony: Samanta’s legal interpreters are trained to translate complex legal terminology and concepts into layman's terms. This ensures that all parties understand what is being said and can provide accurate and complete testimony.

Promoting fairness and impartiality: Samanta’s interpreters are neutral third parties rather than friends or family or the clients, which helps to ensure that legal proceedings are fair and impartial. They do not take sides, provide legal advice or express personal opinions, and are bound by strict codes of ethics and professional conduct.

Enhancing access to justice: The use of interpreters enhances access to justice for non-English speaking individuals, ensuring that they have equal access to the legal system. Samanta’s efficient and effective video calling technology allows everyone to be heard and understood in their own language. 

Improving efficiency: Samanta’s interpreters are available on demand, at any time of the day, which can help to streamline legal proceedings, reducing delays and costs associated with hiring in-person interpreters due to travel expenses and agency fees.
