I am working to create an agent for UAE region.
Looks like I can use Azure to support UAE Arabic, and the code will be ar-ae. The option is available on transcriber but I couldn't find that option in the drop down menu of azure voice configuration. I haven't tested it but does transcriber option alone will be enough to get the UAE Arabic accent and dialect?

You have to check if a voice provider supports your Arabic accent and dialect (same for the transcriber). How is the different modal output for your dialect? These three will be bare minimum to get started with a voice AI agent. Eventually, over time with feedback loops, your agent will be fabulous

04/21/2025, 7:26 PMThanks @Shubham Bajaj . In my case, since I am building an MVP, I am trying to import twilio inside vapi. So I am not sure how can I set these configurations for an inbound call. Hope you understood my logic. However I tried setting ar-AE-FatimaNeural with "Add Voice ID Manually" option in vapi. Do you think if it works correctly if I choose this approach. Has Vapi tested with ar-AE-FatimaNeural voice ID? I heard some male voice glitches in the conversation

04/22/2025, 11:34 AMRegarding building a MVP, for inbound calls you can import the number to VAPI and then assign an assistant to it.
The assigned assistant will have all of the properties assigned by you to it for voice transcriber and LLM. So I don't think it won't be a big issue, but still if you are blocked somewhere or find it difficult, let me know.
