Appointments

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

The Certificate of Interpretation is CASLI's national certification. Membership on its own is not certification. A member without it may still be a fully qualified interpreter.

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

SignBridge policy: medical and legal work is offered only to interpreters who take it and who hold the Certificate of Interpretation. This is a rule SignBridge sets, not a rule CASLI or WAVLI make.

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.

Step 1 of 4: Appointment

Appointment

Initials are fine. The interpreter only needs enough to know who they are meeting.

Booking for future calls

Book a time now and an interpreter joins you then.

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.

Fit your face, upper body and hands in the picture so your signing is clear. The bars move when your microphone picks up sound, so you can see it working without hearing it.

Caption check

Test captions from your own speech before you join. Only you see this test. Automatic captions make mistakes. Captions are a help during the call, not a record of it.

Use a different room

Only change this if somebody gave you another room link.

Having trouble joining?

Check that your browser allows camera and microphone for this site, then choose Check devices again. You can also join with either device off. Captions do not work in every browser.
