Getting Started

How do I make my first call? +

Do I need to install anything? +
No. Make calls directly from your browser. Works on Chrome, Edge, and Safari on both desktop and mobile.
What equipment do I need? +
Just a computer or phone with a microphone and speaker. A headset is recommended for the best experience, but built-in mic and speakers work fine.

We use state-of-the-art AI models optimized for conversational speech. Accuracy varies by language pair but is generally excellent for business and everyday conversations.
