Calls

In each chat, Kotha remembers whether you translate calls and which language you hear.

In a translated call, Kotha reads each translation aloud in the voice you choose here. Tap ▶ to hear a voice. The choice is kept on this phone.

Voices made on this phone start at once, so Kotha uses them. Voices marked "online" are made over the internet (by Google or Microsoft) from the translated words and come a moment later: Kotha uses one only if you choose it, or if this phone has no voice of its own for the language. With no voice at all for a language, Kotha's natural voice reads, also over the internet.

Still sounds robotic?

iPhone: open Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices, choose the language and download a voice marked "Enhanced" or "Premium". If your browser lets Kotha use it, it appears in the list above.

Android: search your phone's Settings for "Text-to-speech", choose Speech Services by Google, then install and pick a voice for the language. Kotha then uses that voice.

Computer: Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome have more natural voices, marked "online" in the list above. Choose one if a moment's wait before each translation is fine for you.
