Our Interpreting Services.
What sets us apart from other interpreting providers in the metropolitian Indianapolis area is the fact that we are customers ourselves.
We understand.
We demand quality. How? We use only nationally-certified interpreters (unless specifically requested by the Deaf consumer to provide another interpreter s/he perceives as skilled). In addition, we maintain a consumer profile on Deaf consumers’ needs and interpreter preferences. That way, we can ensure that real communication will take place between Deaf and hearing people.
We don't take shortcuts.
Why? The shortcuts hurt us and you. We will not send less-qualified interpreters, charge the same rate, and pocket the difference. We will not send an interpreter that is inexperienced or a poor match for the situation. We will not cheat our paying customers or the Deaf community, period.
*How can we make such an audacious claim — that we are the only interpreting agency run by the Deaf community? Easy. Because we really are. Being a member-owned and member-controlled cooperative, the Deaf community and its allies run Sharp Eyed Group, LLC.
