Hello, friends!

We’re excited to kick off another conference season! As a certified Disability-Owned Business Enterprise (DOBE), we were honored to attend our third DisabilityIN Global Conference in Dallas, joining leaders from around the world to explore how technology, accessibility, and inclusive design can create solutions that work better for more people.

The conference was an inspiring opportunity to connect with others advancing language access in the digital accessibility space and dive into conversations around human-centered AI, inclusive design, and the powerful role language plays in creating meaningful connections.

We’re bringing that momentum into our continued growth, which I’m especially proud of! Our network of expert linguists continues to expand. We now have 236 active interpreters representing 61 countries supporting nearly 300 languages bringing deep cultural knowledge and lived experience to every interaction.

Our translation capabilities have also grown to support over 120 languages across approximately 100 countries and territories. Recent additions include Gujarati, Tigrinya, Tagalog, Cebuano, Waray, Hiligaynon (Ilonggo), and Nuer, along with expanded interpretation support for African French and Canadian French.

As our global language network grows, so does our ability to help more companies and organizations create more accessible, integrated, and culturally responsive experiences for everyone to help people participate, connect, and thrive.

With love,

Mary Jayne
