Instant interpreting (Application interpreting/Mobile interpreting) means real-time interpreting provided through a mobile application or browser-based service without prior booking. The service connects the interpreter, the client (e.g. a health and social services professional) and the interpreter.

The procurement process is entirely in Finnish.,
