Salesforce Voice now supports Hindi and Thai languages for Amazon Transcribe’s transcription. The kvsTranscriber Lambda function now supports real-time transcription for these languages. To show real-time transcription in Hindi or Thai:

  • In Salesforce, update your contact center to get the latest Lambda functions.
  • In Amazon Connect, set the languageCode on the transcription block in your contact flows to the transcription language. For example, to transcribe to Hindi, enter hi-IN. For more info about supported languages and language codes, see Streaming Transcription in the AWS Transcribe Developer Guide.

See Amazon Documentation: Amazon Transcribe's Transcription Languages Supported by Salesforce Voice.

Amazon Connect’s Multi-Party Calls feature (for up to 6 parties) is automatically disabled for version 12.0 contact centers. Salesforce Voice doesn’t currently support this feature. It can be re-enabled within the Telephony settings for your Amazon Connect instance. However, if you use it, you might notice some unexpected behavior for call transfers and conference calls.
