CyraCom International, Inc. stands as a prominent American provider in the language services sector, focusing on video and telephone interpretation alongside language evaluation solutions. It holds the distinction of being the foremost supplier of phone interpretation services throughout the United States.
Based in Tucson, Arizona, CyraCom originated in 1995 under the name Kevmark Industries, founded by Kevin J. Carey and Mark Myers. The founders created an innovative prototype device, later called the CyraPhone, which incorporated two handsets linked to a single base unit to enable three-way communication among patients, healthcare providers, and interpreters—facilitating seamless interaction without the need to hand off a receiver.
The company adopted the name CyraCom in 1997, drawing inspiration from Edmond Rostand’s play Cyrano de Bergerac. It maintains call centers nationwide in the U.S., complemented by offices located in the United Kingdom and Costa Rica, offering interpretation services across numerous languages.
In January 2010, CyraCom broadened its service portfolio by acquiring Language Learning Enterprises, based in Washington, D.C., thereby strengthening its position within the language services industry.
