About Us

The year 1993 marked the beginning of a new adventure for Michael Rizzolo. Armed with a simple philosophy—always send the best interpreters available—he established Interpretek. The company continues to fulfill its original purpose: to promote superior communication access for all consumers of sign language interpreting services.

Interpretek values its strong nationwide reputation for service quality. Our team includes highly trained, qualified interpreters who love what they do and are dedicated to communication excellence.

Rochester, New York, home of Interpretek’s first office, boasts the highest Deaf population of any city in the United States. Readers of Rochester’s Democrat and Chronicle newspaper have voted Interpretek the “Best Interpreting Service” annually since the inception of the Rochester’s Choice Awards in 2001.

Recent expansion to Nebraska and Florida gives Interpretek the capacity to create a nationwide network of interpreters ready to meet consumers’ needs.

Interpretek—as the name implies—leads the way with technology. We utilize the latest innovations to expand communication options. Video Relay Services (VRS) and Video Remote Interpreting (VRI) expand consumers’ accessibility options and Interpretek’s outreach.

Interpretek offers cost-effective, reliable, quality services to meet your diverse communication needs.
