expertise, you might waste resources without improving accessibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"1402\">You might think hiring top-tier, in-person interpreters for a business conference is the best option, but if your Deaf attendees prefer Video Relay Interpreting (VRI), you\u2019ve just wasted thousands on travel and accommodation for services they don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"1402\">In an academic setting, bringing in a medical interpreter for a university course seems reasonable\u2014until they struggle with classroom discussions, leaving your Deaf student lost and requiring a mid-semester replacement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"1402\">And if you hire a generalist interpreter for a high-tech AI training session, you\u2019ll quickly realize that without specialized knowledge, they can\u2019t keep up, forcing you to hire another interpreter and doubling your costs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"492\"
