How Samanta will change the interpreting industry.

Interpreting apps like Samanta have the potential to disrupt the interpreting industry by making interpretation services more accessible, convenient, and affordable for everyone.

Here are some ways Samanta will change the interpreting industry:

Increased accessibility: Samanta will make interpretation services more accessible to people who may not have had access to them before. For example, people in remote areas, or people who speak a less common language may not have had access to live interpreters in the past, but with Samanta, they can connect with an interpreter from anywhere in the world at a time that suits them.

Cost-effective: Samanta offers cost-effective solutions for interpretation services. Traditional interpreting services are often expensive as they involve paying the interpreters travel expenses, agency fees as well as a minimum of one hour's pay. Samanta can offer a more affordable option, allowing customers to hire an interpreter for a minimum of 15 minutes, cutting out the unnecessary travel expenses and agency fees. This allows our interpreters the freedom to work from wherever they choose and we also guarantee to pay our interpreters far above the industry average meaning that customers get access to the highest quality interpreters available on the market. 

Convenience: Samanta can provide an on-demand service, allowing users to access interpretation services exactly when they need them. This is particularly useful in situations where a face-to-face interpreter is not readily available, or where an interpreter is needed at short notice. Samanta’s interpreters provide their hours of operation on their profile and customers can call them any time you choose within those hours. If a customer's preferred interpreter is not currently available, they will have the option to hire another interpreter instead. This means customers will always be able to hire an interpreter in any language….any time, any place!

Improved quality: Samanta gives customers access to advanced video calling and audio technology that allows for clear and consistent conversations, as if the interpreter is there in the room with you. By cutting out travel time needed for an in person interpreter, Samanta gives you access to many more high quality interpreters at one time. Other apps use artificial intelligence to decipher what is being said but Samanta’s live interpreters means that there is far less room for error and confusion as more natural or colloquial  language can be used and understood in complicated situations. 

Job freedom: There will always be some demand for in person interpreting services such as court appearances and some medical situations, however, Samanta gives interpreters the freedom to choose their own hours, work from wherever they like and earn a higher hourly rate than agencies provide. Removing the need for travel time between jobs also allows interpreters to be available for live interpreting jobs as they are booked meaning that interpreters will get paid more for the hours they work. 

In essence, Samanta has the potential to transform the interpreting industry by increasing accessibility for customers, reducing costs, improving quality, and providing a more convenient service at a fair rate to the high quality interpreters using the platform.
