Your AI receptionist’s voice matters

The voice your callers hear sets the tone for your entire business. A warm, natural voice builds trust. A robotic voice makes people hang up. We offer two tiers of voices so you can pick the right balance of quality and cost.

Premium voices (ElevenLabs)

These are our highest-quality voices. They sound almost indistinguishable from a real person — natural pauses, breathing, and emotion. Powered by ElevenLabs, the industry leader in AI voice.

Sarah

Female - Warm & natural — best all-round receptionistThe most popular choice for service businesses. Great for dental practices, salons, and professional services.

Alice

Female - Bright & EnergeticA lively, upbeat voice that sounds enthusiastic without being over the top. Works well for restaurants, fitness studios, and retail.

Eric

Male - Confident & ClearA strong, reassuring voice with clear diction. Popular with trades (plumbing, HVAC, electrical) and automotive businesses.

Daniel

Male - Calm & AuthoritativeA smooth, measured voice that conveys expertise. Good for legal, financial, and medical practices.

Budget voices (VAPI)

These voices cost roughly 6x less per minute than premium voices. Try the samples to compare quality before choosing. A smart choice if you handle high call volumes and want to keep costs down.

Maya

Tips for choosing the right voice

  • Match your brand. A plumber does not need to sound like a luxury spa, and a dental practice does not need to sound like a building site.
  • Think about your callers. If most of your customers are elderly, a calm, clear voice (Sarah or Daniel) works best. Younger audiences might prefer the energy of Alice.
  • Listen on a phone. Voices sound different through a phone speaker than through your computer. Test by calling your AI number from your mobile.
  • Ask a friend. Have someone who does not know it is AI call your number and get their honest reaction.
Changing your voice does not affect your greeting message, personality, or any other settings. It only changes how the AI sounds.
