Language Settings

Say, Pi supports multiple languages for both speech recognition and text-to-speech, making it accessible to users worldwide.

Changing Your Input Language

1. Open Say, Pi settings by clicking the extension icon
2. Select your preferred language from the dropdown menu

Auto-Detect Feature

Say, Pi can automatically detect which language you're speaking:

1. Click the globe icon in the language selection menu

This is ideal for multilingual users who frequently switch between languages.

When to Use Auto-Detect vs. Specific Language

• Choose a specific language when:
  • You'll mainly use one language
  • You want maximum accuracy
  • You need faster processing
• Use Auto-detect when:
  • You frequently switch between languages
  • You sometimes mix languages in conversation
  • Convenience outweighs slight accuracy trade-offs

Supported Languages

Say, Pi currently supports speech recognition in dozens of languages and text-to-speech in 32 languages, including:

• English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese
• Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Russian
• Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and many more

Tips for Multilingual Users
