How matching stays accountable
Every session is timestamped end-to-end — so the time-to-fill we report is the real one, not the friendly average. Documented sessions, rapid matching, Minnesota's languages, institutional billing: proof, not a promise.
Matching surfaces the right interpreter by language, specialty, dialect, prior history, and proximity — starting with the closest qualified interpreter and widening statewide until one accepts. A real person is on call if a request needs a hand.
Every interpreter's certification is re-verified on a schedule. The session record names the specific credential checked at dispatch.
Every session emits a tamper-evident trace — timestamps, credential snapshot, both-party attestation. Waiting in your account before anyone asks for it.
We publish it where it counts — in every interpreter's weekly ledger, itemized. Not on a billboard. Mileage, prep time, and late-cancellations are paid, not absorbed.
“I left a name-brand agency that paid me a fraction of the bill rate. Lingfaro itemizes every session — I can see exactly what I earned and why.”
“Mileage and prep time actually show up on my statement. After eleven years interpreting, that's the first time that's been true.”
How it works
Tell us the language, modality, specialty, and time. We show you a fair rate and flag anything that shouldn't be in a dispatch brief before it leaves your screen.
We route the request to qualified interpreters near you. You see every step: who was notified, who accepted, and when, with a realistic time-to-fill up front.
When the session ends, both parties attest. A tamper-evident session record is waiting in your account: interpreter credentials, timestamps, and everything your compliance team needs.
