Why does language matter so much?
Most software in India is built in English. Most of the people doing the work think and talk in another language. When an update has to be typed in English, it usually doesn’t get typed at all. When it can be a ten-second voice note in Gujarati, it gets sent. Read why staff won’t type into software.
How does Kyrra pick each person’s language?
- From how they write or speak. Someone who writes in Marathi gets Marathi back.
- It asks only when unsure. If a person’s messages are mixed, or have all been voice notes, Kyrra asks once with buttons and remembers the answer.
- Everyone keeps their own. The owner can read in English while the floor works in Hindi.
Do voice notes work as well as typing?
Yes. A voice note is turned into text and handled like any other message. Kyrra keeps the words, not the recording.
For a factory floor, see factory software that works on Hindi and Gujarati voice notes. See how Kyrra works, how to use Kyrra hands-free with earbuds and what Kyrra is.
Questions owners ask
Can different people on my team use different languages?
Yes. Each person gets replies in the language they use. A master can speak Gujarati, a supervisor Hindi and the owner English, all in the same business.
Does Kyrra understand Hinglish and mixed languages?
Yes. People mix languages all the time, and Kyrra understands that. It replies in the language a person uses most. If it can’t tell, it asks them once with buttons.
Does it reply in English letters or in my script?
In the language’s own script. Hindi replies come in Devanagari, Tamil in Tamil script, Gujarati in Gujarati script, and so on.
My staff can’t read well. Can they still use Kyrra?
Yes. They can send voice notes instead of typing. With Bluetooth earbuds they can also say “Hey Kyrra” and hear the answer spoken back, in their own language.
Which language does Kyrra use when it calls a customer or patient?
Their own language, if the business has saved it. Otherwise it opens in the business’s usual language and asks whether to carry on in it, and offers Hindi or another Indian language if not.
