About Tolkvi
Digital infrastructure for sign language interpreting
Tolkvi AB (559581-3667) is a Swedish technology company behind a digital marketplace for sign language interpreting. The platform connects requesters, interpreters and interpreting companies in one flow, from booking and coordination to delivery and follow-up. The core technology is owned and managed in-house with data protection, accessibility and accountability as starting points. The goal is for access to interpreting to work in practice, not only in theory.
Vision
Our vision is for sign language interpreting to be as accessible in rural areas as in major cities. The right support needs to be reachable wherever the need appears.
Mission
Tolkvi provides the digital infrastructure required to make that real: a connected platform where booking, coordination, delivery and follow-up work together for every participant in the interpreting chain.
Why Tolkvi exists
Because every meeting needs communication that works
An interpreting assignment is more than a booking. It enables understanding, participation and decisions in meetings that affect people’s lives. Tolkvi exists to make sign language interpreting more connected, accessible and traceable, with technology that supports the full chain.
-
For the person in the meeting
Communication needs to work where decisions, care, learning, work and everyday life happen.
-
For the actors around the assignment
Requesters, interpreters and interpreting providers need clarity around needs, status, responsibility and records.
-
For a system that holds together
Tolkvi connects the chain so assignments can be planned, delivered and followed up with better control.
Our mission
Making every interpreting assignment clearer from start to finish
Tolkvi exists to reduce the gaps in the interpreting chain. When need, responsibility, availability and follow-up are brought into one connected flow, assignments become easier to book, coordinate, deliver and follow up.
- From need to decision Every assignment starts with a concrete communication need. Tolkvi makes the path from need to the right next step clearer.
- Responsibility through the flow Requesters, interpreters and interpreting providers need to know what is happening, who is responsible and what records exist.
- Developed to hold up The core technology is in-house and the platform is designed for more needs, more ways of working and higher requirements without losing clarity, data protection or control.
The principles behind Tolkvi
Four principles
Tolkvi is guided by four principles that together form TOLK: Tangible accessibility, Operational clarity, Long-term trust and Keep improving. They describe how the platform works around every assignment.
Tangible accessibility
Accessibility becomes real when the right interpreting support can be reached in practical situations, whether the need is planned, recurring or appears quickly.
Operational clarity
Booking, coordination, delivery, history, finance and follow-up need to stay connected for every participant around the assignment.
Long-term trust
When interpreting touches healthcare, education, public agencies, working life and everyday decisions, the technology needs to support responsibility, data protection, traceability and clear boundaries.
Keep improving
Tolkvi improves continuously as a platform. Every improvement makes the chain clearer, faster or more reliable for the people who use it.
A European context
Accessibility, participation and digital responsibility
Tolkvi operates in a European context where accessibility, participation, language, data protection and digital inclusion are increasingly important. For us, they are societal reference points that shape the product direction: modern digital infrastructure for an important social chain that has needed better tools for a long time.
