For everyone🚀 Getting Started

Create your account and choose your role

Sign up for OneTerp and tell us whether you run an agency or interpret in the field.

Everyone starts by creating a single OneTerp account. After signing up you'll pick how you'll use the platform, running an agency, working as an interpreter, or both.

Step by step

  1. 1Go to the sign-up page and enter your name, email, and a password, or click "Sign up with Google" or "Sign up with Apple" to use one of those accounts instead.
  2. 2Submit the form to create your account. If email verification is required, check your inbox and confirm your address.
  3. 3On the onboarding screen, choose how you'll use OneTerp: Interpreter if you take assignments in the field, Agency Owner if you run an organization, or Office staff if you're joining someone else's agency.
  4. 4If you're setting up an organization, pick its type. An interpreting agency bills customers and pays interpreters. A school district or government body schedules its own staff in hours rather than dollars, and we review and confirm that choice with you.
  5. 5If you're an agency owner who also interprets, check the "I also interpret" option so both sets of tools are available to you.
  6. 6Finish onboarding to land in your dashboard.

Tips

  • Signing up with Google or Apple skips the password entirely and counts your email as already verified, you'll still pick your role on the onboarding screen.
  • Owners who also interpret can switch between Agency view and Interpreter view from the top of the sidebar.
  • New interpreters are walked through a short setup wizard covering your profile basics, logging a first job, logging a first expense, and a tour of the freelance tools. You can leave it and come back.
  • After the wizard, a small getting-started checklist sits in the corner of the dashboard; each item ticks off as you complete it, and you can minimize or dismiss it any time. A few short emails over your first week point you at the parts people miss.
  • Office staff do not search for an agency. You wait on a welcome screen and join through an invite link the agency sends you, which is also where your permissions get set.
  • In the iOS and Android apps you can only sign up as an interpreter. To set up an agency, sign up on the web first, then sign in on your phone.
  • If your agency requires approval, you'll wait on a pending-approval screen until an administrator activates your account.
