ASL Interpreters are tasked with bridging the communication gap between people who can hear and those who are hard of hearing, whether it’s at school, medical facility, church, concert or other location. Quality interpreters can effectively capture and translate spoken information before immediately interpreting it for a hard of hearing audience, often using high-level, specialized vocabulary. To execute this, interpreters must spend large parts of the day concentrating, focusing on auditory and visual information before conveying it. American Sign Language Interpreters may specialize in a specific mode of communication, like oral interpreters, who silently mouth words in English for easier lip-reading. Transliterators are another form of ASL Interpreters who use a visually-coded language that follows the grammatical structure of written English.
