Kwikpoint develops visual translation and instruction publications that enable people who do not share a common language to communicate by pointing to pictures and symbols. Its materials provide visual, step-by-step guidance for assembling, installing, and using civilian and military products, complementing or replacing text-heavy manuals. The publications are used in various settings around the world, including by armed forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, to help identify enemy positions, locate improvised explosive devices, and discover weapons caches. They also support humanitarian aid delivery and assist in training local soldiers and law enforcement personnel while reducing communication barriers. Based in Alexandria, Virginia, Kwikpoint operates within the book and periodical publishing industry, offering visual communications for consumer travel and hospitality, healthcare, and law enforcement and first responder contexts. The company maintains a small team and serves a global audience.
