Comment: I count 1 news article, 1 interview, and 7 press releases (press releases do not count towards notability), and they're all from the same website. If you want this article to be accepted, you should add 1 or 2 more independent, reliable sources and tone down the promotional language. —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 16:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

Boostlingo is an American technology company that develops software solutions for interpretation and translation services. Its platform combines on-demand interpreting, interpreter scheduling, artificial intelligence tools for live translation, and integrations with video conferencing software, enabling language access in medical, governmental, and business settings.[1]
History
[edit]Boostlingo was founded to expand access to interpreting services through digital tools, with a particular focus on supporting remote and on-demand workflows. The company initially focused on over-the-phone interpreting (OPI) and video remote interpreting (VRI). In 2018, Boostlingo raised $3.4 million in Series A funding, aimed at enhancing its platform’s technical capabilities and expanding its interpreter network.[2]
In 2021, the company received a growth equity investment from Mainsail Partners. By 2023, Boostlingo had expanded into new product areas including artificial intelligence, remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI), and multilingual event hosting.[3]
Technology and Services
[edit]Boostlingo offers a suite of tools that support language access for a variety of sectors including healthcare, legal, and education. The platform supports:
- Interpreter scheduling and management
- On-demand video and audio interpretation
- AI-powered live translation
- 24/7 American Sign Language Interpreting Support[4]
- Zoom and video conferencing integration[5]
- Remote simultaneous interpretation (RSI)[1]
In 2023, Boostlingo launched a new version of its platform (v4.1) featuring upgraded Zoom integration, multilingual support tools, and workflow automation.[5] It also introduced a video conferencing feature designed for interpreter-facilitated meetings.[6]
Acquisitions and Growth
[edit]To expand its capabilities, Boostlingo pursued a series of acquisitions:
- In 2022, it acquired Interpreter Intelligence, a scheduling and management software company for interpreters.[7]
- Later that year, it acquired VoiceBoxer, a multilingual event technology provider. The platform was subsequently rebranded as BoostEvents in 2023, aimed at supporting real-time interpretation in international meetings and webinars.[8]
In 2023, Boostlingo also launched the Boostlingo Hub, consolidating its services into a centralized interface for language access management.[1]
Branding and Strategic Initiatives
[edit]In 2023, the company underwent a brand refresh, introducing new AI-based tools and a modernized user interface across its platforms.[3] That same year, Boostlingo hosted a panel discussion at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2023 in Austin, Texas, on the future of language access and the role of technology in interpretation services.[9]
