Ask us first about Haitian Creole (205,000), Bengali (191,000) and Tagalog (139,000). They are among the most spoken languages in the New York–Newark–Jersey City metro, but not among the 21 languages with voices in the Voxgard studio, so confirm them before the pilot. If a caller speaks a language your line is not set up for, the operator apologizes in the current language and asks to continue in a supported one; it never answers in the wrong language or goes silent.
What changes for
a New York business.
The things this metro’s phone lines do differently, and what the operator does about them.
Apartments, floors and hyphens
It takes the ZIP code first, then the house number and street, handles Queens-style hyphenated numbers, apartment and floor, and reads the whole address back before it books.
Russian and Ukrainian on one call
About 234,000 Russian speakers live in the metro. The operator follows a caller between Russian, Ukrainian and English without a transfer. Russian.
Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Korean
722,000 Chinese, 172,000 Arabic and 151,000 Korean speakers, on the same number as Spanish and English. No phone menu.
Every borough at once
Calls arrive together. Standard takes three simultaneous calls; Enterprise has no limit, so nobody hears a busy signal at 9 a.m.
Photos before the estimate
Customers can text photos of the job by MMS, so a mover or contractor sees the walk-up before quoting.
Nights in the city that does not close
Your hours decide when the AI answers itself. After close it books the next slot and leaves a summary for the morning. After hours.
