AI Calls lets you call regular phone numbers from VocaLingo with live language support. You can either translate the conversation in real time or use AI as a call copilot that suggests what to say next.

When to use

  • Call someone who speaks another language and hear live translated speech

  • Get AI suggestions during interviews, support calls, negotiations, and travel calls

  • Save call details, recordings, and AI events for later review

  • Keep important numbers and contacts in one place

Call modes

  • Translation - translates the conversation live between your language and the other person's language

  • AI Assistant - listens to the conversation and suggests short replies based on your instructions

ℹ️ You can choose how audio is played back on each side: original voice or translated speech with TTS. Using TTS may add a short delay.

How to start

  1. Open AI Calls from the Tools tab.

  2. Enter a phone number or pick a saved contact.

  3. Select the call mode, languages, and audio playback options.

  4. If needed, choose which number to call from.

  5. Review the estimated token cost per minute and start the call.

During the call

  • Live translation or AI suggestions appear on the active call screen

  • You can mute the microphone, switch speaker output, and monitor your remaining balance

  • For AI Assistant mode, you can add extra context to shape the suggestions

History, recordings, and details

Every call is saved in the History tab. Open a call record to see the duration, cost, mode, AI events, and the saved recording if one is available. Recordings may need a short processing step after the call ends.

Numbers and contacts

In the Contacts tab you can save frequently used people and call them faster later. In Settings you can manage your own numbers: verify a personal number or get a virtual number, then choose which one is used for outgoing calls.

Pricing

AI Calls are billed per minute. The estimate depends on the destination number, speech recognition, the selected AI model, and whether TTS playback is enabled. Before the call starts, the app shows the estimated number of tokens per minute and how many minutes your current balance covers.
