About Tolkvi
The technology behind a connected workflow
Tolkvi AB (559581-3667) is a Swedish technology company providing management software for sign language interpreting. We support collaboration between clients and interpreting companies by bringing booking, coordination and follow-up together. Interpreting companies contribute their sign language interpreters and expertise, and are responsible for delivering the interpreting service.
Vision
Our vision is for sign language interpreting to be as accessible in rural areas as in major cities. People should be able to access the support they need, wherever they are.
Mission
We give clients, coordinators, interpreting companies and their sign language interpreters one shared system for managing sign language interpreting.
Why Tolkvi exists
Every meeting needs communication that works
A sign language 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 workflow.
For the person in the meeting
Communication needs to work where decisions, care, learning, work and everyday life happen.
For everyone managing sign language interpreting
Public and private sector organizations and interpreting companies, including their coordinators and sign language interpreters, need clarity around requests, status, responsibility and records.
For a system that holds together
Tolkvi connects the workflow so assignments can be planned, delivered and followed up with better control.
Our mission
Clearer workflows for sign language interpreting
Tolkvi exists to reduce the gaps in the work around sign language interpreting. When requests, responsibility, availability and follow-up are connected in a structured workflow, assignments become easier to book, coordinate, deliver and follow up.
From booking to follow-up
Booking requests, assignment details and history stay connected so those responsible can follow the work.
Responsibility throughout the workflow
Public and private sector organizations and interpreting companies, including their coordinators and sign language interpreters, need to know what is happening, who is responsible and what records exist.
Built to last
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
The initials of our four Swedish principles form TOLK. They stand for accessibility, operational clarity, long-term trust and continuous improvement, guiding how the platform supports every assignment.
Accessibility in practice
Accessibility becomes real when the right sign language interpreting support can be reached in practical situations, whether the need is planned, recurring or appears quickly.
Operational clarity
Booking, coordination, delivery and follow-up need to stay connected for everyone involved in the assignment.
Long-term trust
When sign language interpreting touches healthcare, education, public agencies, working life and everyday decisions, the technology needs to support responsibility, data protection, traceability and clear boundaries.
Continuous improvement
Continuous improvement is part of how Tolkvi evolves. Each improvement should make the workflow clearer, faster or more reliable for the people and organizations using it.
Accessibility and compliance
Putting European principles into practice
Accessibility, participation and data protection guide how we build Tolkvi. A shared system supports clear responsibility, controlled access and follow-up for everyone involved in sign language interpreting. European work in these areas provides important reference points.
