My credentials

Your routing tier is worked out from what you enter. You cannot choose it yourself.

WAVLI

WAVLI membership is renewed and paid yearly. A lapsed payment removes the listing, so this date drives when the profile is checked again.

CASLI

Only a Certificate of Interpretation holder may be described as a certified interpreter in Canada. Membership on its own is not certification, and a member without certification may still be qualified for the work.

Your rate for SignBridge calls

SignBridge sets a floor of $85 and a ceiling of $150 an hour for calls. You choose any figure in between. This rate applies to SignBridge calls only.

Work you take

Medical and legal work is only offered to interpreters who take it and who hold the Certificate of Interpretation.

What the system works out

Save your credentials to see the result.

Interpreters

Every interpreter gives a membership number and confirms their own listing when they sign up. A staff member then opens the directory, reads it, and records what they saw. SignBridge checks every profile again once a year.

Interpreter calendar

Pick a date to see who is confirmed. Past dates keep the record: who interpreted, for how long, and what kind of assignment.

Month view. Use the arrow keys to move between dates, then press Enter to open a date.

Billed at a two hour minimum, so anything under two hours bills as two.

Preferred interpreter

Optional.

How many interpreters

Interpreting tires the body and the mind. Past about an hour of steady work, accuracy drops and injury risk climbs, so interpreters take turns.

Where we send updates

We email you every step: sent, accepted, declined, no reply, cancelled. We also remind you 24 hours and 2 hours before the appointment.

We text this number. Optional.

Your client chooses this, not you. Ask them once, then set it here.

The interpreter sees your client's first name only. Your own name, email and phone number stay private unless SignBridge releases them.

Booking for future calls

Book a time now and an interpreter joins you then. You do not choose the interpreter. The first qualified interpreter who is free takes the call.

When

What kind of booking?

Who you are calling

Optional.

Your reminder

We remind you 24 hours before the call and again 2 hours before. One of the two is enough.

You can cancel up to 48 hours before the call and you will not be charged. After that, the call is charged.

No request yet. Send one from the booking screen.

Create an interpreter account

Fill this in once. Your account does not go live straight away. A person checks what you enter against the WAVLI or CASLI listing first.

About you

Use the name on your membership listing.

Your membership

You can hold one, both, or neither.

Check your listing

SignBridge looks you up in the public directory. Open it and check your name appears exactly as you typed it above.

Where you live

SignBridge checks your device location against the address on your profile. This stops one person opening several accounts.

Location not checked yet.

Work you take

Your declaration

SignBridge checks every interpreter profile again once a year.

Interpreters I trust

Keep a short list of the interpreters you already know. They show at the top when you book, so a personal appointment does not hand you a stranger.

Three-way call

Everyone pins whoever they want. Your pin is yours alone, so nobody else's screen changes when you move things around.

Join the call

Everyone who opens this page joins the same call. There is nothing to copy and nothing to paste.
