Language settings tell your Agent which speech it should listen for and how it should respond.

Choose a language

Open Edit Agent, select the language settings, and choose the language your callers will use. Vida supports English and Spanish language options as well as a multilingual mode for conversations that may move between supported languages. Use a specific language when most conversations stay in one language. Use multilingual mode only when callers genuinely need to switch languages during a conversation.

Match the voice and speech mode

Not every voice is available for every language or speech mode. Choose the language first, then select a compatible voice. The Agent editor shows the choices available for the current configuration.

Test with real speakers

Before publishing:
  1. Test with the accent and vocabulary your callers are likely to use.
  2. Include names, addresses, numbers, and industry-specific terms.
  3. Confirm the Agent responds in the intended language instead of merely understanding it.
  4. Test language switching if multilingual mode is enabled.
