Sign-Language Services

Are you deaf, hard of hearing or have a client who is? We use qualified interpreters certified by the RID/NAD. Most of our interpreters use American Sign Language, but we can also accommodate other requests including: Pidgin Signed English, Signed Exact English and Tactile/Close Up. Our team of interpreters looks forward to an opportunity to assist you and your clients do what we do best, help people communicate.

The Law

Who is required to provide interpreters? Generally: any medical facility, government agency, educational institution or any other organization receiving federal funding must provide interpreters at their own expense. Protections under Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and various state laws may also apply.

Real-Time Captioning

As defined by the National Captioning Institute, real-time captioning is a method of captioning in which captions are simultaneously prepared and transmitted at the time of origination by specially trained real-time captioners using a stenotype machine. Real-time captioning is often used in meetings, conferences, presentations and court proceedings.

Lip Reading

Although not an exact science, lip reading is widely used in various applications. Lip reading is a process of understanding speech by visually interpreting the movements of the lips and other facial features. Our lip reading service is limited to video transcription and is done exclusively in-house. Private investigators and law enforcement agencies may have an interest in this service.
