Language Service Program

Our Language Service Program provides high-quality, detail-oriented translation services (written word), interpretation services (spoken word), and transcription services (writing down the recorded spoken word) between English and Spanish. Our experienced staff are bilingual in English and Spanish, and only translate into their native language, a requirement for strong, natural-sounding translations. All translations are reviewed for accuracy and flow.

**The minimum charge for a translation is $20, to cover the administrative costs. Notarization of documents costs $5 per trip to the notary public.

Transcription

We transcribe Spanish or English audio recordings. An extra fee will be applied if recording is of poor quality or for focus groups or multiple speakers

Interpretation

We have trained and experienced interpreters available to provide consecutive interpretation of the spoken word. Some simultaneous interpretation can be provided for more informal settings. Please contact us for pricing. We do not provide medical interpretation as our interpreters are not certified for medical or legal interpretation.

Editing or Proofreading Spanish

Editing and proofreading of Spanish language texts are related services and can be priced separately in specific cases. Typically, our editing price will reflect the time dedicated to editing, as the quality of the original will affect the time required. An estimate will be provided upon reviewing the text.
