Put down the calendar, stopwatch, notes app, and spreadsheet

Most interpreters stitch together a handful of generic tools to get through the day. SignPrep replaces that stack with one app built around how interpreting actually works.

Before

A new job lands on your calendar

Open the assignment to see where it is and read the AI briefing prepared for it. Then tap Prepare for this Assignment to open your checklist, research, key terms, and notes in one place. One tap opens directions.

Read the preparation guide
SignPrep assignment detail with a countdown, a Briefing written with Private Cloud Compute, and Prepare for this Assignment

Any time

Record a sign you will need again

Record a sign or choose a video from your library, and let AI suggest the definition, word type, and domain. A review queue and suggestions from your next assignments bring the right signs back before you walk in.

Read the sign glossary guide
SignPrep New Sign screen: a recorded sign video with its name, definition, word type and domain tag filled in
