Global Interpreting Services

What Global Interpreting Services does

Global Interpreting Services is a Clinton Township, Michigan-based language services company founded in 1996 as a sign language interpreting provider that has expanded into a multi-modal interpretation and translation business. The company delivers Video Remote Interpreting (VRI), Over-the-Phone Interpreting (OPI), on-site interpreting, document translation, transcription, and American Sign Language (ASL) services through a curated network of more than 13,000 interpreters covering over 300 languages. Its technology surface is primarily the routing and delivery infrastructure for these modalities — including a self-service document translation portal — rather than disclosed proprietary software platforms.

The company organizes its commercial motion around six vertical markets: healthcare, legal, education, government, finance/business, and non-profit, supported by industry-specific landing pages and case studies featuring named customers such as Henry Ford Hospital, Children's Hospital of Michigan, 41-A District Court, Orthopaedic Surgical Institute, and Soledad Unified School District. It has also extended into adjacent content with eLearning courses, notably an Interacting with the Deaf Community for Law Enforcement program, signaling intent to move from pure transactional services into training and certification revenue.

The business model is a classic two-sided language services marketplace: Global Interpreting Services aggregates supply (interpreters) and matches it to demand from institutional buyers who require qualified, often credentialed interpreters for compliance-sensitive interactions. Pricing is per-engagement or per-minute across modalities, with no disclosed subscription or platform fee structure. Customer acquisition combines enterprise direct sales for verticals with a broadening digital presence across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube to capture lower-touch demand. No revenue, funding, M&A, or leadership information is publicly disclosed, and the company reports 11-50 employees consistent with a lean operator model that scales through its contractor interpreter network rather than headcount.
