For institutions
Language access is not a courtesy. It is an obligation.
Under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, recipients of federal funds must provide meaningful access for people with limited English proficiency. A public meeting held without language access is not just a missed connection with residents. It is documented compliance exposure.
VeraLink Civics gives councils, boards, districts, and agencies a practical way to meet that obligation: live multilingual sessions that residents join from their own phones, with high-stakes terms anchored to governed definitions.
What a VeraLink deployment includes
- Live sessions: speech transcribed and translated in near real time, delivered to every attendee in their chosen language.
- No-install access: attendees scan a QR code and follow along in the browser. No app, no account, no barrier.
- Governed glossaries: civic and legal terms anchored to approved renderings and plain-language explanations, versioned and reviewable.
- An audit trail: session records and term logs that document the access you provided and the definitions it was anchored to.
- Operator support: trained session operation, or training for your own staff.
Who this is for
City and village councils, boards of education, county agencies, courts and clerks, health departments, and the nonprofits that serve multilingual communities alongside them. Deployments start in Central Ohio and scale from there.
