# Turkish-speaking AI receptionist

Turkish when the caller needs it. English the rest of the time.

Nuteq answers in English and replies in Turkish as soon as a caller speaks it. It finds a time that suits them, books it, answers from your own information, and writes each call down.

## Can an AI receptionist speak Turkish with patients and clients?

Yes. Nuteq is a Turkish-speaking AI receptionist that answers your line in English and continues in Turkish when a caller speaks it, without a menu or a transfer. You keep English as the agent’s main language and add Turkish under “Also understands”. The agent then offers open times, books the visit, and answers questions from the information you give it, such as your address, what to bring, or whether you see new patients. It suits clinics, practices, and offices whose Turkish-speaking clients would rather explain a problem in their own language, and who often call outside office hours. Each call is saved with the recording, a transcript of what was said, and a short summary, so your team knows what was booked and why. Turkish is included on every Nuteq plan at no extra cost.

- **Answers:** Phone, text messages, WhatsApp, and website chat
- **Speaks:** English and Turkish on one number
- **Voices:** Turkish voices, male and female, to preview
- **Books:** New and returning visits against your calendar
- **Turkish costs:** No extra charge on any plan

### What it will not do

- It does not give medical or legal advice. It books the person who can.
- Text replies are written in your agent’s main language, and booking confirmations go out in English.
- The greeting plays exactly as you wrote it. Add a Turkish line to it if you want Turkish speakers to hear their language first.

## Calls from Turkish-speaking clients

Turkish is spoken by people from Türkiye and Cyprus and by families who have lived in the UK, the US, and Canada for decades. Younger relatives often switch to English while parents stay in Turkish.
