Who it reaches

Who a Hindi‑only agent misses.

Gujarati, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada are the first language of 429.5 million people.

For most of them, Hindi is no substitute. Only 1.5% of Tamil speakers report speaking Hindi. For Kannada it is 4.7%, for Bengali 8.6%.

357.3 million of them cannot be called in Hindi at all. Now they can be called in their own language.

Speaker counts are first-language speakers from the 2011 Census of India; “also speak Hindi” is Hindi reported as a second language. These are the most recent official figures — the next census is due in 2027. The docs we take them from have no Malayalam row yet, so it has none here.

What live means

Here is what live means for a language.

Same endpoint, same request shape

Send text in the language’s own script, with English mixed in the way real conversation is, and get audio back. No new API to learn.

The same four voices

neha, shruti, ashu and sameer speak every one of them. Pick a voice once and use it in every language.

Listening and speaking

Speech recognition and the voice both work in every one of them, so an agent can hold the whole call in Tamil, Bengali or Malayalam.
