  • Real Accessibility Starts with the Right Communication Solutions

    Accessibility isn’t a checkbox. It’s about dignity — making sure no one gets left out because the information or conversation wasn’t available in their language.

    At Asign Inc., we help organizations across Canada communicate clearly and equitably with Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind communities through professional sign language interpreting and translation.

    Our Core Services

    We offer two primary services designed to fit how organizations actually work.

    Asign On is our video remote interpreting (VRI) platform built for on-demand access. When an ASL or LSQ interpreter is needed right now — not tomorrow or next week — Asign On connects you in seconds. No scheduling. No waiting. No barriers. Open the platform, connect, and start communicating. It’s the fastest way to support Deaf or hard-of-hearing customers, employees, or clients in the moment.

    We also provide scheduled interpreting, both in-person and remote, for situations where timing and location are known in advance. For written or pre-recorded content, our translation services convert English into ASL and French into LSQ with accuracy and cultural respect.

    Whether the need is immediate, planned, in-person, remote, or content-based, we design communication solutions that match real operational realities.

    Who We Work With

    Our clients span financial services, government, transportation, corporate environments, and many other sectors. Every industry has its own terminology, regulatory requirements, and communication challenges. Our interpreters develop subject-matter expertise specific to each client’s context so they arrive prepared and effective.

    If an organization needs to communicate with Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or DeafBlind Canadians, we build the solution around that specific environment.

    Who This Serves

    The work reaches Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind communities across Canada in both ASL and LSQ. Whether someone is accessing a service, participating in a meeting, or engaging with content, professional interpreting and translation make the experience equitable.

    Why Organizations Choose Asign Inc.

    We have provided interpreting and translation services since 1997 — nearly three decades of specialized expertise. We hold certifications with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Canadian Language Industry Association (CLIA). We are also certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise through WBE Canada and WeConnect International.

    Our interpreters operate at a high professional standard. Many hold security clearances ranging from Reliability to Top Secret and participate in ongoing professional development and mentorship.

    As a Canadian-owned and Canadian-led company, we understand the bilingual English-French landscape, provincial regulatory environments, and the practical needs of organizations operating nationwide. Beyond that, we remain deeply connected to the Deaf community — its language, culture, and diversity. That connection forms the foundation of our work.

    Trust and Fit

    When organizations invest in accessibility, they need partners who understand the stakes and deliver proven capability. Certifications, experience, and a consistent track record matter. The goal is never a generic package — it is a solution shaped around actual needs, goals, and audiences.

  • Building Real Accessibility: On-Demand Interpreting, Trusted Expertise, and Solutions That Fit

    I’ve spent my career in the space where accessibility meets business. What drives me is simple: every time an organization becomes more accessible, real people get better access to healthcare, education, government services, and opportunities they didn’t have before. That’s not just a mission statement — it’s something I’ve seen happen.

    What We Do at Asign Inc.

    We provide two core services across Canada. Let me start with the one that changes how organizations think about accessibility.

    Asign On is our video remote interpreting platform. This is on-demand VRI. If a client needs an ASL or LSQ interpreter right now — not tomorrow, not next week — Asign On makes that happen in seconds. No scheduling. No waiting. No barriers. You open the platform, you connect, and you’re communicating. It’s the fastest way to connect with Deaf or hard-of-hearing customers, employees, or clients.

    We also offer scheduled interpreting — both in-person and remote — when you know exactly when and where you need support. And for organizations with written or pre-recorded content, we provide translation services from English into ASL and from French into LSQ.

    Whether it’s on-demand, scheduled, in-person, remote, or translation, we build a communication solution that fits how you actually work.

    Who We Work With

    Our clients come from across sectors — financial services, government, transportation, corporate, and beyond. If your organization needs to communicate with Deaf, hard-of-hearing, or DeafBlind Canadians, we’ll build a solution that fits your specific context.

    Every sector has its own terminology, its own regulatory environment, and its own communication challenges. Our interpreters become subject matter experts on your business — so when they show up, they already understand your world.

    Who This Reaches — and Why It Matters

    This work reaches the Deaf, hard-of-hearing, and DeafBlind communities across Canada, in both ASL and LSQ. Whether someone is accessing a service, sitting in a meeting, or watching your content, our interpreting and translation work is what makes that experience equitable.

    Accessibility isn’t a checkbox. It’s about dignity. It’s about making sure no one gets left out because the information wasn’t available in their language.

    Why Organizations Choose Asign Inc.

    We’ve been doing this since 1997 — nearly three decades of interpreting and translation expertise. We’re certified with the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the Canadian Language Industry Association (CLIA). We’re also certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise with WBE Canada and WeConnect International.

    Our interpreters are professionals at the highest level. They carry security clearances ranging from Reliability to Top Secret. They receive ongoing professional development and mentorship. When you work with us, you’re getting interpreters who are continuously learning and improving.

    We’re Canadian-owned and Canadian-led. We understand the Canadian landscape: the bilingual English-French context, the regulatory environment, and the unique needs of organizations operating across provinces. More than that — we’re community-driven. We’re deeply connected to the Deaf community. Its language. Its culture. Its diversity. That connection isn’t an afterthought — it’s the foundation of everything we do.

    Trust Matters

    When you’re hiring someone to make your organization accessible, you need to know they understand the stakes. You need the certifications, the experience, and the track record. Asign Inc. has them. The goal is always the same: the right solution for your actual needs — not a one-size-fits-all package.
