Vocily agents speak Indian Bengali with native voices, understand callers who mix in English, and transfer to a person with the conversation attached when the caller wants one.
On the phone in Bengali
Mainly in West Bengal, Tripura and Assam's Barak Valley (Census of India, 2011). Here is what it takes for an agent to sound right to them.
Agents run on the Indian Bengali (bn-IN) models from Sarvam and Soniox, tuned for how Bengali is spoken in Kolkata and across West Bengal.
Set 'apni' for customers in the prompt and the agent keeps that register for the whole call.
When a caller asks for a person, the agent transfers the call and passes along what was said, so your advisor doesn't start from zero.
