# Voices and languages

> Choose how your bot sounds and which language it speaks.

## The five voices

| Voice      | Gender | Sounds like                   | Especially good for                |
| ---------- | ------ | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
| **Kore**   | Female | Calm, serene, clear           | Telugu, Kannada, Hindi             |
| **Zephyr** | Female | Bright, warm, expressive      | Telugu, Kannada, multilingual bots |
| **Charon** | Male   | Deep, resonant, authoritative | Formal Kannada and Hindi           |
| **Puck**   | Male   | Playful, lively, energetic    | Friendly, informal conversations   |
| **Fenrir** | Male   | Focused, crisp, direct        | Short, to-the-point calls          |

<Tip>
  Not sure? Kore is the safe default. Use [Voice Studio](/user-guide/voice-studio) to hear a
  sentence read aloud before you decide.

## Languages

(Mandarin), Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Korean, Russian, Dutch, Turkish.

## One language or several?

* **One language** — the bot is locked to it. It greets in that language, uses the correct
  script, and will not drift into another language even if the caller does.
* **Several languages** — the bot listens to the caller's first sentence, replies in that
  language, and switches again if the caller switches mid-call. With mixed speech such as
  Hinglish it follows whichever language dominates.

<Note>
  Multilingual bots are wonderfully flexible but slightly less predictable. If your callers
  all speak one language, pick that one language.
</Note>

## Good to know

* Your bot never reads out symbols like `*` or bullet points — everything is written to be
  spoken.
* Replies are kept to one or two sentences and one question at a time, so the call feels
  like a conversation rather than a lecture.
* Callers can interrupt. The moment somebody starts speaking, the bot stops and listens.
