People confuse ASL translation and interpreting all the time:

  • ASL interpreters relay statements in signed and spoken language. For example, when you use Sorenson Express our interpreters can pass messages between ASL and English or ASL and Spanish.
  • ASL translators work between written and signed language. Most often, they’re transforming a source text into ASL for a Deaf person who isn’t fluent in the written language.

Sorenson provides a full suite of interpreting and translation services. Fill out our form, and the appropriate member of our team will reach out about the services you’re interested in.
