Real-time translation for your Spanish-speaking crew.
NIOSH says language barriers cause 25% of jobsite accidents. Stop relying on hand signals — talk to your crew in their language, in real time, with no app for them to install.
By the numbers
How it works
- Step 1Open VoiceBridge on your phoneBrowser only — no app to download. Pick the language you speak; the worker picks theirs after scanning.
- Step 2Show the QR code to your workerThey scan with their phone's camera. The session opens in their browser — no app, no login, no permissions hassle.
- Step 3Press to talkYou hear their reply in your language. They hear yours in theirs. Press-to-talk keeps it clear over jobsite noise.
Why VoiceBridge for construction
- ✓No app to install on workers' phones — they just open the link in Safari or Chrome
- ✓Works on cellular (no jobsite Wi-Fi required), big buttons, designed for gloved hands
- ✓OSHA's 2010 standard interpretation requires training in a language workers understand. Email transcripts on every call give you the paper trail
- ✓Two-way conversational — every utterance translated both ways. Other tools (MindForge, $11k/yr) only broadcast safety alerts one-way
- ✓Construction-tuned vocabulary: rebar, conduit, joist, drywall, framing — terms translated correctly, not literally
Unlimited conversations across English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Email transcripts after every call, with action items and safety mentions auto-flagged. 90-day searchable archive. Cancel anytime.

Does my crew need to install an app?▼
No. The worker scans a QR code with their phone camera, and the conversation opens in their browser (Safari or Chrome). There is nothing to download, no account to create, and no permissions hassle beyond the one-time microphone prompt. The only person who needs an account is you, the foreman — and only if you want transcripts saved.
How is this different from Google Translate?▼
Google Translate is built for tourist phrases, not jobsite vocabulary. VoiceBridge is tuned for construction terms (rebar, conduit, joist, OSB, footing, framing) and renders them as the trade equivalents in Spanish or Portuguese rather than literal translations. It also runs as a continuous two-way conversation: you press to talk, your worker hears it in their language, they reply, and you hear theirs. Google Translate makes you take turns through the same phone.
Does it work on a noisy jobsite?▼
Yes. The press-to-talk model means the microphone only captures intentional speech (when you hold the button), not background hammer noise. We tested against typical jobsite ambient ~85 dB. For very loud environments, both speakers can also type rather than speak.
Does this help with OSHA bilingual training compliance?▼
OSHA's 2010 standard interpretation requires safety training in a language workers understand. VoiceBridge emails you a transcript and summary after every conversation, with safety mentions auto-flagged. That email is your documentation when OSHA asks for proof of bilingual safety communication. We do not file the paperwork for you, but we generate it automatically.
What languages are supported?▼
English, Spanish, and Portuguese today. These three cover ~95% of US construction-worker language pairs. We are working on Tagalog, Vietnamese, and Mandarin for 2026.
What does it cost the worker?▼
Zero. Workers always use VoiceBridge for free, even on the Free tier. They never see a paywall and we never ask them for an email. The Pro/Team/Business subscription belongs entirely to the contractor.
Can I cancel anytime?▼
Yes. Subscriptions are month-to-month. Cancel from your account page or your Stripe customer portal — no phone call, no email retention pitch. You keep access until the end of your current billing period.
