English inside Telugu, understood
Words like 'site visit', 'price' and '2BHK' stay in English in most Telugu calls. Sarvam Saaras v4 and Soniox transcribe the mix as spoken, so nothing is forced into one language.

Telugu voice AI agents for Hyderabad and beyond.
Telugu callers mix in English freely and expect the polite 'andi'. Vocily agents understand Telugu-English speech, reply with native Telugu voices and keep the respectful register your brand needs.
On the phone in Telugu
8.1 crore people speak Telugu as their first language.
Mainly in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana (Census of India, 2011). Here is what it takes for an agent to sound right to them.
Respectful by default
Set the register in the prompt: 'meeru' and 'andi' for customers, and the agent keeps it for the whole call.
Five voice providers to choose from
Telugu is supported by Vocily AI, Sarvam Bulbul, Smallest, Cartesia and ElevenLabs voices, so you can audition voices and pick the one your customers respond to.
