Assignments buried in group chats, paper vouchers to sign and scan, and no way to know if you're booked.
Why interpreters like it
Your schedule, offers, directions and vouchers in your pocket, so you can spend your day interpreting instead of chasing details.
See today's appointments, confirm them, and get directions without a single phone call.
Offers, updates and comments come to the app, and your voucher is filled in on your phone, not a clipboard.
Your time, mileage and travel go on the voucher as you work, and your earnings statements come from the same record.
Free when your agency invites you.
You went into this work to interpret. But most of your week is spent chasing texts, filling out paper forms, and guessing whether you're actually booked.
Assignments come in by group text. Confirmations get buried under chit-chat. Cancellations arrive at 6am and you find them at 9. There is no calendar, just scrolling.
Every appointment ends with a clipboard, a signature, and a fax, or a PDF you scan, sign, and email.
You said yes three days ago. No one wrote back. Do you show up? Do you double-book? You end up texting the coordinator just to be sure.
Schedulers offer you jobs at times you're already booked because they can't see your real availability. You waste time saying no, they waste time re-asking.
The address is in one email, the patient name in another, the prep doc was promised but never sent. You spend 15 minutes hunting before every appointment.
The pay statement arrives. Some appointments are missing. Travel time isn't included. You start a spreadsheet just to fight for what you actually worked.
Three moments that change when your agency gives you a real tool instead of a thread, a PDF, and a prayer.
Group text pings: "Anyone free Mon 9am, Spanish, pediatrics?" You scroll back through 40 messages to figure out if you're already booked.
Push notification on your phone: "New offer: Mon 9am, Pediatrics, Spanish." Two taps to accept. It's on your calendar before you put your phone down.
Standing outside the clinic. Did the time change? Did they cancel? You text the coordinator and wait, again.
You open the app and see: confirmed, room 4B, your agency's notes, the address. Tap it for directions. Walk in.
You spend a whole evening cross-referencing emails, paper vouchers, and your own notes, fighting for travel time you forgot to claim.
Your hours go on the voucher as you check in and out. Your pay statement matches it. No reconciliation, no spreadsheet.
