Your own AI receptionist is set up around your business: opening hours, services, bookings and how calls are passed to your staff.
Where Hungarian-language phone answering helps
When a Hungarian-speaking caller is answered politely in Hungarian, booking, asking a question or leaving a message is simpler for them and for your team.
Aged care and home care
Older callers and their families can book a visit, ask about home care or leave a message for a care coordinator in Hungarian. Your team gets a summary in English, and anything urgent goes to a staff member.
Dental practices
Book, move and cancel check-ups in Hungarian, and take messages for the practice. The receptionist handles admin only and passes clinical questions to your team.
Community and cultural organisations
Answer questions about events, classes and opening times in Hungarian, take membership enquiries and pass messages to the right volunteer or staff member.
Accountants and tax agents
Clients can book a meeting, check which documents to bring or leave a message for their accountant in Hungarian. Questions that need advice go straight to your team.
Restaurants and delis
Table bookings, catering enquiries and opening hours in Hungarian or English, while your staff look after the customers in front of them.
How we set up your Hungarian AI receptionist
Three steps. We do the heavy lifting.
Tell us about your callers
Which languages they speak, what they call about, and what a good call ends with: a booking, a message or a transfer.
We build and test it in Hungarian
Your greeting, hours, services and booking rules in English and Hungarian, tested on calls with your own names and places.
Go live on your number
Forward your existing number. Every call comes with a transcript and summary, and we keep improving it.
What makes Hungarian-language calls different?
Speaking Hungarian well on the phone takes more than translating English sentences.
One Budapest voice
Eszter speaks with a Budapest Hungarian accent. She is the only Hungarian voice on offer, so there is no regional voice from Transylvania, Slovakia or Vojvodina. Hungarian speakers from those regions can talk to Eszter, and we test with your own callers before go-live.
Ön, not te, on a business line
Hungarian has a formal way of speaking (magázás, with "Ön") and an informal one (tegezés, with "te"). Older callers in particular expect the formal form from a business. The receptionist answers with "Jó napot kívánok" and uses Ön by default.
Family name first
Hungarians say and write the family name first: Kovács Anna is Anna Kovács on an English form. Many people in Australia and New Zealand use the English order. The receptionist notes which part is the family name, and your team gets the summary in English with the name in the order on your records.
Dates run year, month, day
Hungarian writes dates from the year down, as in 2026. október 27., and accented letters such as ö and ő, or ü and ű, are different letters, not decoration. The receptionist confirms every booking with the weekday and the date in full, and asks callers to spell names when an accent matters.
An example call in Hungarian
A daughter books a meeting with an aged care provider about home care for her father, and the agent reads her phone number back. Illustrative example, not a recording.

Hungarian AI receptionist: common questions
Which Hungarian accents does the AI receptionist speak?
One: Eszter has a female voice with a Budapest Hungarian accent. There is no regional voice from Transylvania, Slovakia or Vojvodina. Callers with other accents can talk to Eszter too, and before go-live we run test calls with your own callers so you can hear how it handles them.
Can callers switch between English and Hungarian?
Yes. The receptionist switches to Hungarian when a caller asks for it or starts speaking Hungarian, and back to English the same way. It switches between turns, not in the middle of a sentence, so it is easiest to follow when each sentence stays in one language.
Does it understand phone numbers spoken in Hungarian?
Yes. A phone number spoken in Hungarian was transcribed correctly in our tests. The receptionist still confirms important details, such as a phone number, before saving them.
Does it use the formal Ön with callers?
Yes. The receptionist greets callers with "Jó napot kívánok" and uses the formal Ön, which is what most callers expect from a business. Before go-live we test it with your own callers and call types.
Can I try a Hungarian demo now?
Yes. Talk to the Hungarian agent on this page, in your browser. Calls run for up to four minutes.
Can we keep our 1300 or 1800 number?
Yes. You keep your number and forward calls to the AI receptionist, all the time or only when you are busy, do not answer or are closed. A mobile number can forward the same way. You do not need a new number.
Can it transfer calls to our staff and send a summary?
Yes. It can put a caller through to a staff member's mobile when they need a person, and it sends a summary of every call to your team, with the transcript in your portal.
Can it give medical, legal or financial advice in Hungarian?
No. In regulated industries the agent handles admin only: bookings, opening hours, directions and messages. Anything that needs advice goes to your qualified staff.
Does a Hungarian receptionist cost more than English?
No. Hungarian calls are charged at the same per-minute rate as English, from 95c a minute down to 77c in New Zealand and 71c in Australia. Credit never expires and every plan has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Where is call data stored?
Transcripts, call records, contact details and billing are stored in Sydney. The live audio, recording files, speech processing and the language model run offshore. We meet cross-border accountability requirements through documented arrangements with our voice infrastructure partner.
