Tarjimly is an app that matches multi-lingual speakers with refugees, immigrants and aidworkers in need of translation or interpretation assistance. Multi-linguals can volunteer as a translator or interpreter for refugees and NGOs around the world, whilst refugees, immigrants and aid-workers can sign up in order to receive free assistance in the languages they need. 1 - Bilinguals sign up and get notified whenever a refugee needs a translator. If they're available, they'll click yes to the notification. Once connected in a live session they can exchange text messages, pictures, voice messages, and get on an internet phone call. High performing volunteers can receive a certificate or recommendation letter for their time spent volunteering on the app. 2 - Refugees and aid-workers sign up and request a translator based on their needs (like asylum interviews, emergency medicine, navigating a new country, or any humanitarian need). Tarjimly uses machine learning to connect them with the best available translator, within minutes. Once connected in a live session they can exchange text messages, pictures, voice messages, and get on an internet phone call. Our mission is to eliminate language barriers, and ensure equity for all refugees and immigrants in accessing essential services. Learn more at www.tarjimly.org
