When do you need them?

Write it however you like — a person reads this, not a calendar.

Exact start, for the reminders

Optional. With it, everyone on the job is reminded the day before, the interpreter is reminded when to set off, and you are told the moment they leave. It is also what the cancellation terms are measured from.

What kind of appointment is it? Medical Legal or court Something else

Some interpreters charge a different rate for legal work, so this decides which of their rates applies.

Where? On site Remote

If remote, how?
Video — we open a room for this session, nothing to install
Phone — you give the number to call

Where — or, if remote, how to join

For a video session we open the room and send you both the link once they accept, so leave this blank unless you must use your own. For a phone session this is the number to call.

Getting to you

You know your own building and they do not. These three lines are the difference between an interpreter walking in at 8:58 and one ringing you from the wrong lobby at 9:05. All optional.

Floor and suite

Who should they ask for

Best way in

Parking, the walk and the badge desk are filled in by interpreters who have been to the building, so you do not need to describe those.

Your name

Organisation

Your email

This is how they reach you, and how we tell you whether they accepted.

Is someone else joining from their own device?

The patient, the client, the person you are booking for. For a video session we send them the same room link, so the three of you join from three devices. All optional.

Their name

Who they are

Their email

Their phone

Only the interpreter sees these, and the email is used once: to send the room link.

Who is paying for this assignment?

A court-appointed interpreter is paid by the court, so InterpDirect handles the booking and stays out of the money. Everything else — depositions, client meetings, clinics — can be paid here.

Anything they should know

Do not put medical details or case specifics here — it goes out in an email.

Cancellation

Cancelling closer to the start than this pays the interpreter in full. 24 hours is the industry default. A longer notice is agreed when the interpreter accepts knowing it; it cannot be changed afterwards.

What happens next

Judy Ruano gets this and says yes or no. You hear back either way, in time to make other arrangements. Nothing is booked until they accept, and if they do, you get their contact details and settle the particulars directly.

You pay their rate. Our fee comes out of their side, not added to yours.

Who are we?

A direct line between interpreters and the people who book them. No agency in the middle, no account to create, and nothing to install — every page here opens in a browser.

The interpreter sets their own rate and keeps it. Our fee is $4.00 a session, or $19.00/month and $2.00 — video is free, taken from the interpreter's side and never added to yours.
