№ 01 Why interpreters join

Your practice, on your terms.

The registry is built for the interpreter, not the middleman. You keep the relationship, you keep the rate, and a staff-reviewed record does the convincing for you.

Keep 100% of your rate

SPI never takes a cut out of your pay. You set the terms: your rate, your minimum booking, your cancellation window, your payment terms. The flat 10% platform fee is paid by the organization, on top, never by you.

Be found directly

Organizations search the registry and contact you themselves. No dispatcher routing your work, no agency standing between you and the people who need you.

Verified credibility

A staff-reviewed badge stack markets you: your certifications, your ILR proficiency, your training hours, and your languages with direction, all confirmed before they appear.

A real professional home

Continuing education, a practice lab, one to one mentorship, and a members community. Everything to keep getting better, in one place that follows your career.

Two ways to work

Your clients, or ours.

The registry is your workplace, not just your listing. Serve the clients you already have, or take new ones from ours, all through one HIPAA-compliant platform.

Bring your own clients

Run your existing work through our HIPAA-compliant video and audio platform, with Zoom integration. Your book of business, our infrastructure, and your full rate.

Take work from the registry

Mark yourself available and receive on-demand and pre-scheduled requests from organizations searching the registry. New clients, no marketing, no agency in the middle.

№ 02 Your record

One credible page that works while you sleep.

This is how you are presented to every organization that searches. Not a resume you email and hope gets read, a living, verified record on a public registry.

  • Languages

    Your languages, with direction.

    Each pair, shown both ways or one, exactly as you work it.

  • Specialties

    Your specialties.

    Medical, legal, education, mental health: the settings you are ready for.

  • Credentials

    Your verified certifications and ILR.

    CCHI, NBCMI, NAJIT, ATA, or RID, plus an optional proctored ILR 3, 3+, or 4 rating, each reviewed by SPI staff.

  • Training

    Your training-hours band.

    The hours you have logged, banded and verified, so experience reads at a glance.

  • Continuing education

    Your continuing-education clock.

    Accredited hours auto-log to the record and keep climbing, visible proof you stay current.

  • Direct rate

    Your direct rate.

    Posted in your own terms and paid straight to you in full. The flat 10% platform fee is charged to the organization, never deducted from you.

№ 03 Keep growing

The record stays current, because you do.

Membership is not a listing you forget. Continuing education and live practice log straight to your profile, so the work you put in keeps showing on the registry.

24 hours a year
Accredited CEUs

Live sessions or recorded modules, accredited and counted toward your annual CEUs.

24 hours a year
Live practice

Hours in the simulation lab, interpreting real intakes, logged as you go.

24 hours a year
Engagement events

Member events that build the field, recorded toward your record too.

That is 72 logged hours a year, auto-logged and visible on your public record

Practice tooling

Step into the simulated clinic and interpret a live intake.

Skills Lab and the 3D clinic

Book a Skills Lab session, then step into a simulated 3D clinic exam room and interpret a live patient intake.

Recorded and reviewed

Record your interpretation in the browser. It is reviewed, scored, and kept on your record as proof of practice.

Tutor and script library

A practice tutor and a practice script library at the AALB academy, plus proctored exams when you are ready to certify.

One to one mentorship

Apprentices pair with a working SPI Member for structured monthly modules. Real guidance, not vague advice.

The Commons

Members-only peer forums for terminology help, office hours, and war stories, with a glossary built from real member conversations.

The vetted jobs board

Members see the jobs board, where every posting publishes its rate. No competitive, no DOE, just the number.

How much should you charge?

Whatever you are worth. Here is what they hid.

You set your own rate. We will never assign you a number. But you deserve to see what your work actually bills at, because the agency that pocketed the difference never showed you.

On-site · medical or legalagencies bill $100 to $180 / hour
Video remote (VRI)agencies bill $1.50 to $3.50 / minute
Over the phone (OPI)agencies bill $0.85 to $2.00 / minute

Reported agency bill rates: what the client pays. You keep your full rate, and the client pays a flat 10% on top. Price to your worth, not to what an agency once paid you.
