About

Opalite makes it easy for healthcare providers to communicate with non-English speaking patients. We’re built to work inside existing clinical workflows, so providers can communicate in real time without waiting for an interpreter or delaying care. Opalite is available instantly, 24/7, and replaces traditional interpretation services with software that’s more reliable and saves millions of dollars per year. We've built a voice AI system that is the safest, most compliant, and most accurate medical interpreter in the world.
