14. A computer-implemented method for providing remote translation services comprising the steps of: providing a control interface at a first location; connecting said control interface to a standard telephone line; connecting at least one audio input mechanism to said control interface; connecting a video input control mechanism to said control interface; connecting said video input control mechanism to at least one video input device; controlling said at least one audio input mechanism via a plurality of signals transmitted over said standard telephone line; capturing an audio signal with said first audio input device; controlling said at least one video input mechanism via a plurality of signals transmitted over said standard telephone line; capturing a video signal with said at least one video input mechanism thereby allowing an interpreter to monitor at least one facial characteristic of a speaker; applying at least one level and type of security measure determined by the identity of an end-user; applying at least one level and type of security measure determined by based on the nature of a given request or response; transmitting said audio signal to a second location; transmitting said video signal to a second location; displaying said video signal on a computer monitor; translating at least a portion of said audio signal from a first language to a second language while said video signal is being displayed on said computer monitor, thereby creating a translated audio signal; and transmitting said translated audio signal back to said first location, said translated audio signal being routed to isolated headsets by said translator when interpreting into a foreign language.
