VRS Competitors' # for Sonenson VP-100/200

That video makes some outlandish statements. There's not an interpreter shortage, per se. VRS companies pay interpreters for what they're worth. Many agencies do not. Many agencies pay interpreters late. Why would an interpreter put up with late pay and low rate when VRS pays on time and a good wage?

I think when interpreting agencies wake up and pay better and pay on TIME, interpreters will be more willing to come back to the community.

Personally, if I moved to a country where there was another language, I would make it a priority to learn the native language instead of expecting the natives to learn my language. Just my opinion.

Agree here... I would do the same thing if I move to
another country I would show respect to their country
and learn their native language. Respect goes both ways.

Same thing if we switch & reverse this back to this country here;
when outsiders move into this country, I hope they will
show respect and learn our English language here.
Again, Respect goes both ways.
 
The facts we have here are hospitals, social service agencies, and IEP counselors are making panic calls to us for help in finding interpreters because they cant find any as there seems to be no one available to help them.

This was as recent as 2 days ago. The fact here is we have an interpreter shortage and the VRS industry is exacerbating it.

Javapride, you do know nothing.

That happened to me twice this year when I received a few calls from the management training company in DC that ASL terps could not come.

Richard is right....
