Hungarian medical interpreters

Opalite uses the same underlying interpretation techniques for Hungarian as it does for Spanish, Mandarin, and Cantonese. In Opalite’s published validation study, those three languages were evaluated in clinical conversations, with over 90% fewer errors than certified medical interpreters across the conversations studied.

Healthcare providers covered by Title VI or Section 1557 must provide meaningful language access for patients with limited English proficiency, including Hungarian-speaking patients. Depending on the communication, that can involve qualified interpretation or translated documents. Opalite is designed to support those obligations.

About 74,210 U.S. residents age five and older speak Hungarian at home. Of that group, 17,290, or 23%, report speaking English less than very well. These are 2017-2021 American Community Survey 5-year estimates.

Yes. Opalite supports Hungarian for spoken medical interpretation during in-person visits, telehealth appointments, and phone calls. It runs on phones, tablets, and computers.

Opalite treats Hungarian patient conversations as protected health information. It signs a business associate agreement with every customer and uses encryption in transit and at rest. Its security safeguards include SOC 2 Type II audited controls, access logging, and retention settings. Patient health information is never used to train the models.
