06Voice and transcription
Speak instead of type, and turn recordings into text
Dictate into a field and have text read aloud in your browser, turn call recordings and voice notes into written transcripts, and try an AI receptionist in a safe simulator.
What is voice and transcription?
ZimraStudio's voice features let you dictate text and have it read aloud in your browser, and turn call recordings and voice notes into written transcripts. An AI receptionist simulator lets you rehearse how an agent would answer. Live phone answering is not available yet.
Who is it for?
- Staff who would rather speak a note than type it
- Sales and support teams that record calls and want a written record
- Managers planning an AI receptionist who want to test the conversation first
In the browser
Dictation and read-aloud
Press the microphone in a text field and speak. Have a message or a note read back to you. Both work in the browser; how well depends on the browser and the language you use.
- Dictation. Speak into a field and see the text appear.
- Read aloud. Listen to a note or message instead of reading it.
Recordings to text
Transcripts of call recordings and voice notes
Calls made from ZimraStudio can be recorded, and voice notes can be sent in chat. Either can be turned into a transcript you can read, search and attach to the record. Transcription minutes count against your plan.
- Call recordings. Transcribe a recorded call and keep the text with the customer record.
- Voice notes. Turn a voice note into text.
- Counted per plan. Voice minutes are a plan limit, and usage is shown in the app.
Rehearse first
An AI receptionist simulator
Set up a receptionist agent and talk to it in a simulator to see how it greets people, finds the right person, captures a lead and offers a slot. The simulator is a rehearsal. It does not answer a phone line.
- Simulator. Test the conversation before anything is connected.
- Same agent builder. The receptionist is one of the 13 agent templates.
