Have you ever had to phone someone in another country where they didn’t speak English?

Communicating over the phone for a non-English speaker can be challenging. Having to navigate a call where different languages are spoken is difficult for both the caller and the recipient. Whether the call is for access to vital services or for information only, language support over the phone has become a vital resource in overcoming language barriers.

According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), as of 2020, there are around 1 million people in the UK who do not speak any English. These language barriers can often hinder communication and lead to missed appointments, missed business opportunities, employee and service user frustrations, and overall issues with accessibility.

This is where Wordskii Connect comes in - our new and innovative telephone technology that removes language barriers and enables service users to contact businesses in their own language.
