Inventor of the dual-handset telephone

Over 25 years ago, our founders patented the industry-transforming dual-handset telephone.

With the dual-handset telephone, patients and providers can speak to an interpreter on a three-way call without passing a handset back and forth. “The Blue Phone” remains a major equipment choice for hospitals today.

Our company value that sets us apart: Quality language access

We believe everyone deserves access to essential and everyday services, regardless of the language they speak, sign, or read. Since the beginning, we have been committed to making quality language services more accessible, faster, and less cost-prohibitive. Today, CyraCom continues this tradition by providing unified phone and video pricing for spoken language interpretation as well as a multitude of access options, add-ons, optional equipment, and support that fits your organization’s needs. Check out our remote interpreting page to learn more.

Trailblazer of the employee interpreter model

Most interpretation companies run on a 1099 Independent Contractor model because it often requires less investment and includes fewer legal responsibilities. But this also means that each self-employed interpreter’s skills and abilities vary, and interpretation companies are legally prohibited from providing compulsory training to help them improve. Independent contractors also may not be scheduled, and they choose their own hours.

In contrast, we have dedicated the past 20 years to developing our interpreter workforce in order to standardize quality and meet client volume requirements. CyraCom is able to train, monitor, and schedule thousands of employee interpreters who work in our interpreter contact centers. Since our first interpreter contact center opened in 2003, we have launched nine more, operating the most extensive network of secure, HIPAA-compliant, large-scale interpreter contact centers.

Our company value that sets us apart: Promoting diversity while creating career paths

We also believe in promoting from within. Many of our employees start as interpreters before discovering it is just the start of a fulfilling career with CyraCom. Over 90% of our workforce management team, interpreter supervisors, client services representatives, account managers, and implementation specialists started as employee interpreters and were able to grow and advance their careers at CyraCom.

Creator of the award-winning Healthcare Language Services Summit and CyraCom Roundtable Events

For over ten years, CyraCom’s events have provided healthcare leaders insights into optimizing their language services program in this rapidly changing healthcare climate. The events focus on challenges faced by language service programs today: supporting increasing numbers of limited-English proficient patients, managing Joint Commission audits and Section 1557 requirements, and adapting to budgets that continue to tighten.

Our company value that sets us apart:  Being a partner and sharing our resources

We believe in supporting our partners with their language access programs. Along with our events, we frequently release helpful guides, white papers, and case studies with in-depth insights from leading language access program managers. Check out our resources page to read our latest research.
