LET’S TALK…
Are you hosting an event that requires an English - American Sign Language interpreter, or even a team of interpreters? Do you have a video recording of a presentation you need interpreted right away? Do you have some video clips of someone using American Sign Language you need voiced into English? Tell me about your needs by filling out the contact form below. Please include basic information about the topic, time, duration, and situation.
Please note that on-site interpreting is often the preferred scenario for sign language interpreting for a variety of reasons. The governments of Canada and the U.S.A. sponsor video relay service for making and receiving phone calls that involve a Deaf person that uses sign language - this service is free to the end users. Additionally, there are deaf owned businesses that have been offering high quality video production, captioning and document translation services for years. The services offered on this page are not intended to replicate or replace those services.
