LISTO Translating Services & More LLC

Clients in the Houston and Katy area of Texas use LISTO for translation, interpretation and Spanish instruction. The company serves businesses, healthcare workers, law enforcement agencies, schools and families, and it describes its work as language services that run from a single document to a full program of training for an organization.

Translation and interpretation for organizations

Translation work ranges from simple document translation to complete business interpreting, multilingual research and the localization of websites. Clients can request a quote by uploading their files in common formats, including PDF, Word, Excel, JPEG and PNG, which speeds up the quoting process.

Interpreters work both on site and remotely. Remote sessions can take place by telephone or by on-demand video interpreting, so a business can reach a customer or a staff member who speaks another language without arranging a visit. The company says its interpreters are qualified for this work.

Spanish and English classes for adults

LISTO designs and adapts language learning and cultural skills programs for students and working adults. Conversational Spanish is taught at every level from beginner to advanced, at different times of day and in a variety of settings. Separate courses serve students who need tutoring, healthcare professionals, and police and other law enforcement officers who need practical Spanish for their duties. On-site corporate classes bring Spanish or English instruction to a company's own premises, and cross-cultural training helps staff understand the people they serve or work alongside.

Programs for children and families

Children's offerings include after-school homework support for elementary pupils aged six to eleven, run by teachers who help parents with schoolwork, and Spanish immersion classes that expose children to the language through daily use. LISTO also runs bilingual art classes in person and online. The company bases these classes on the idea that art in early childhood gives children room to express their emotions, explore their imagination and build a skill they will keep for life.

Who uses the service

Corporate clients take the on-site English and Spanish courses. Healthcare organizations, police agencies and schools use the language training, while families and students use the tutoring and children's programs. The company says it can handle interpretation for businesses that need to speak with customers, staff or partners who use another language, and that its instruction starts from what learners need to say in real situations.
