  • Network-based systems and methods for providing access to remote language services assets
    Patent number: 8359188
    Abstract: Systems and methods for providing access to remote language services assets. Deployed first responders access an electronic communications hub using a portable communication device. The communication hub provides the first responder with an interface through which language services assistance may be requested. A data processing facility communicatively coupled to the communications hub may receive the request and, using one or more data analysis routines, select an appropriate language services asset from a pool of available assets. The electronic communications hub may then connect the responder's communication device to the selected language services asset. The pool of available language services assets may be distributed across a wide area network (WAN).
