About LSA-IRIS

IRIS is Language Services Associates’ (LSA) new Instant Remote Interpretation Services platform. Instantly connect to a highly-qualified interpreter from the convenience of your computer, tablet, or phone with IRIS. Rest assured that your communications are secured by encrypted audio and video. Whether it’s for a medical emergency, a court proceeding, or a business conference, eliminate all of your language challenges with IRIS!

Our next-generation video remote interpreting (VRI) platform, IRIS, delivers the highest quality, high-definition video and audio available today. Powered by the industry-leading Vidyo® platform, IRIS is designed to provide a clear, high-quality video and audio connection, so you will feel like the interpreter is right there in the room with you!

A Video Interpretation session is essential for our Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers needing an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter to interpret the spoken word of a physician, nurse, judge, or attorney. Video Interpretation is available in 14 other languages and is useful when visual cues are beneficial for interactions such as a dermatology examination or a physical therapy explanation.

An Audio Interpretation session (much like a telephone interpretation) is available for more than 240 languages and is the de facto standard for most interpretation needs across our medical, legal, and call center customers.

Users must have an active account with Language Services Associates to sign in. To set up an account or check your account status, please call LSA Sales at 800.305.9673, option 6; or email IRIS@lsaweb.com. Interpretation services are directly billed to the account at a per-minute rate; "In-App Purchase" billing mechanisms are not used.
