How Language Detection Works

1

Caller dials in

The agent picks up in your business default language (e.g. English NZ/AU).

2

First 2-3 seconds

Audio passes through a language detection model. If the caller is speaking another supported language, the agent silently switches.

3

Conversation continues

In the detected language, with a natural-sounding voice tuned for that language. Mid-call code-switching is supported.
