Arabic speech models for Telnyx Voice AI

Telnyx Voice AI now includes Arabic speech-to-text and text-to-speech model options for building voice agents that serve Arabic-speaking customers. Teams can pair the Telnyx.Bayan TTS model with the basira STT model to test Arabic voice experiences across support, sales, and service workflows.

What's new

• Arabic text-to-speech: Telnyx.Bayan gives teams a Telnyx model option for spoken Arabic output.
• Arabic speech-to-text: basira gives teams a model option for transcribing Arabic speech in voice AI workflows.
• Voice AI model selection: Teams can configure Arabic STT and TTS model options for assistants in Mission Control, subject to account and launch availability.

Why it matters

• Arabic-speaking customers need voice experiences that can understand spoken input and respond in Arabic.
• MENA support and sales teams can test Arabic voice AI flows without stitching together separate speech vendors.
• Product teams can evaluate Arabic voice readiness in one Telnyx workflow before broad customer rollout.

Example use cases

• Customer support teams serving Arabic-speaking callers with AI voice agents.
• Sales teams qualifying inbound or outbound interest across MENA markets.
• Operations teams collecting appointment, delivery, or service details from Arabic-speaking customers.
• Product teams testing Arabic voice experiences before expanding market coverage.
