What Translation & Interpretation Network does

Translation & Interpretation Network (TIN) is a full-service language access company founded in 1999 and headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, providing telephone interpreting, video remote interpreting (VRI), onsite interpreting, conference interpreting, document translation, interpreter training and assessment, and language access consulting. The company serves primarily healthcare and education organizations, with secondary coverage of legal, government, social services, and business segments, and reports a network of 6,000+ trained interpreters supporting 200+ languages (including ASL) and over one million cumulative hours of interpretation delivered.

TIN operates a cloud-based platform with separate customer and interpreter portals for scheduling, managing, and tracking interpreting appointments in real time. The technical stack combines skills-based routing for telephone interpreters, an encrypted video remote interpreting network, AI-enabled machine translation paired with human review, and infrastructure hosted on AWS with Stripe for payments and New Relic for monitoring. Training curricula are aligned to ATA, IMIA, NCIHC, and NAJIT standards across medical, mental health, community, court, ethics, and cross-cultural programs.

Revenue is generated through usage-based interpretation, transaction-fee document translation, one-time license training course sales, professional-services consulting (including Language Access Plan development), and conference equipment rentals. Go-to-market is sales-led with direct-to-consumer overlays: direct phone and email sales, online request forms, self-serve portals, and an e-commerce shop for individual training course purchases. Named customers include Children's Medical Center, Children's Health, Richardson ISD, Cargill, and Baker Construction Enterprises. The company is structured as a privately-held Texas LLC with no disclosed institutional investment or funding rounds.
