Ira uses real-time language detection to instantly recognize which language a caller speaks — and responds in kind.
Patient calls in
A patient calls your practice. They start speaking in any language — Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, or any of 30+ supported languages.
Ira detects & adapts
Within the first few words, Ira identifies the language and seamlessly responds. If the patient switches mid-sentence, Ira follows instantly.
Full service, any language
Book appointments, answer questions, check insurance, send SMS confirmations — everything Ira does in English, she does in every language.
Your community speaks many languages. Ira speaks them all.
From the most common to the unexpected — Ira covers the languages your patients actually speak.
And many more including Greek, Turkish, Thai, Swedish, Czech, Romanian, Ukrainian, and others.
Language barriers cost you patients. Ira removes them.
The 2nd largest Spanish-speaking country in the world
A quarter of US residents speak a language other than English at home
Patients who face language barriers are far more likely to miss appointments
Multilingual support is included with every Ira plan — no add-ons needed
Every day at your practice, this happens
The Spanish-speaking grandmother
Maria calls to book an appointment for her grandson. She only speaks Spanish. With a human receptionist, this call gets transferred, put on hold, or dropped. With Ira, Maria books the appointment in Spanish in under 2 minutes.
The bilingual family
A father calls in English to schedule his wife's cleaning, then switches to Portuguese to explain her dental anxiety to the AI. Ira responds in Portuguese with a reassuring tone and books a longer appointment slot.
The after-hours emergency
At 10 PM, a Korean-speaking patient calls with a severe toothache. Your staff is home. Ira answers in Korean, triages the emergency, and sends the on-call dentist a summary — in English.
