OPINIONS ABOUT VASCO TRANSLATORS

See what our customers are saying about us

Skip carousel

„I am always eager to use the Vasco device due to its incredible ease of use, simplicity and straightforward design. I have effortlessly been able to conduct in person translation with students and families. The device has also been extremely helpful for translation of phone voicemails, incoming medical documents of various languages, as well as medical documentation going home to families which require translation into multiple different languages. Additionally, the Vasco device has a convenient option to be able to send photographs of the translated documents via email, which allows for direct electronic transmission of the document to my work email, as well as distribution of the document to the appropriate person/family. Conclusively, the capability and functionality of this translator is remarkable, and it has proven to be an invaluable resource in my profession. I highly recommend this device to anyone in need of translation support in both their professional and personal lives.”

Lindsay A.

Tatham School

„It's been fantastic. We've been able to use this device to have conversations with families who arrive in our office. We've been able to speak face to face, immediately, and with almost no interruption or wait for translation.”

Pete G.

Principal - Middle School

„As someone who's used the Vasco translation device a few times to communicate with non-English speaking families, I've seen its value firsthand, effectively translating voice, text, and visual content. The device ensures that we can understand and support each other immediately, making it an invaluable resource”

Morad M.

District Multilingual Family Liaison

„The Vasco Translation device has proven to be essential for our administrators, counselors and front office staff. We have been able to quickly access the needs of a family using their native language almost instantaneously. Families feel more comfortable coming into the school, and our staff feels more confident that we can easily address the various needs that may arise. As a school, we are continuously looking for ways to collaborate and support our school community and families, and the Vasco Translation device has given us another layer of support we all appreciate.”

Nicole M.

Assistant Principal Middle School

„This has been a game changer for me. It has made it easier for me to communicate with families quickly and gives us an opportunity to connect without feeling stressed about not being able to understand one another. I use it many times a day.”

Elizabeth Maguet

School Front Office Staff

„I had a family registering with my school, first time in the country. My Vasco made the process seemless with document translation for me and comfort and trust with my families. They saw how the process worked with Vasco and stopped using their device, relaxed and worked on Vasco with me. It is a vital tool used in the front office and a huge aid in the registration process. I do not know how I would get along with out it!!!”

See the differenceVasco translators make

Imagine a municipal office serving a diverse community where many residents speak languages other than English. Clerks and officials regularly face language barriers during daily service, public consultations, and emergency interactions. These obstacles slow down operations, create frustration, and weaken trust between residents and local authorities.

Or imagine a community meeting about new public health programs where several residents speak only Spanish or Chinese. Without clear translation, they leave confused and disengaged, while staff struggle to explain procedures, causing tension and unnecessary delays.

Another scenario happens during a local emergency. A sudden flood or severe storm requires immediate evacuation, but responders arrive at a neighborhood where families speak only Vietnamese. Without instant translation, critical instructions are delayed, putting both residents and staff at risk.

With Vasco Translators, these challenges become manageable:

  • Providing clear guidance in daily interactions – staff can rely on voice, text, and photo translation to explain documents, procedures, or service eligibility with confidence.
  • Translating foreign-language documents instantly – officials use photo translation to convert documents from English to residents’ languages and vice versa.
  • Responding faster in emergencies – 0.5-second translations with built-in unlimited and independent Internet enable responders to give life-saving instructions without delay.
  • Working hands-free with E1 headphones – receive instant translations while keeping hands free for other tasks.
  • Sharing translations securely – staff can safely share conversation histories and translated documents while staying HIPAA and GDPR compliant.

Without Vasco Translator Device:

  • Residents feel excluded or misunderstood, weakening community trust.
  • Critical services are delayed while waiting for human interpreters.
  • Staff frustration grows as they struggle to communicate effectively.
  • Emergency response times increase, putting lives and safety at risk.

With Vasco Translator V4:

  • Residents feel included and understood, strengthening community trust.
  • Critical services are delivered immediately in over 110 languages.
  • Staff work confidently without communication barriers.
  • Emergency response times are reduced, keeping residents safe.
