Video Remote Interpreting (VRI)
SLIAO has been providing ASL-English interpreting in Ottawa since 1997. In 2014, we developed our Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) service. This video conferencing service uses smartphones, laptops and other electronic devices to provide interpreting services remotely when on-site interpreting is not available. Whether it’s for a business meeting or shopping with friends, SLIAO VRI delivers interpreting services right when and where you need them.
ASL/LSQ Translation
SLIAO provides English and French text to ASL/LSQ translation for websites, documents and announcements. If a recording is submitted in ASL, a spoken language interpretation or written text translation is prepared. If an announcement is being made in a spoken language, a translation into ASL or LSQ can be produced. These translations are done by Deaf translators and message equivalency interpreters and delivered in a video format for placement on electronic media.

Since 1997, SLIAO has provided ASL interpreting expertise for conferences, court proceedings, federal government services, hospitals, community and academic, and a variety of other settings.
