Problem
Individuals and organizations often face communication barriers due to language differences, hindering effective interaction and access to essential services. Traditional interpreting services can be costly, require advanced scheduling, and may not be readily available in all languages or situations.
Solution
Jeenie offers a mobile platform that provides on-demand access to qualified, live interpreters in over 300 languages, including American Sign Language, via video or audio call. The platform connects users directly to interpreters in seconds, eliminating the need for call centers or complicated scheduling. Jeenie's service is accessible on any device, including smartphones, tablets, computers, and landlines, making it a versatile solution for various industries and individual needs. The platform supports integration with existing video conferencing platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams, and offers features such as real-time usage reporting, data export, and account management for business clients. Jeenie's interpreters are vetted, experienced, and, in the case of medical interpreters, HIPAA-trained, ensuring quality and accuracy in critical communication scenarios.
