Add a Live AI Interpreter to Any Kixie Call
Kixie powers your outbound dialing and sales calls — TalkTool adds the translation. Conference an AI interpreter into a live PowerCall and it speaks both sides in 60+ languages, in real time, for a flat $0.25 per minute.
How do I add an interpreter to a Kixie call?
While you're on a Kixie call — through the PowerCall dialer in your browser, the Chrome extension, or the Kixie mobile app — use Kixie's transfer or 3-way conference control (a live or hold transfer) to bring a third party onto the line, and dial your TalkTool conference number. When TalkTool answers, enter your organization code followed by #, then enter the two-digit code for the language your customer speaks (for example, 01 for Spanish). Press 1 to have TalkTool dial the customer for you, or press 2 if they're already connected on the call. From that point the AI interpreter listens to both sides and speaks each person's words in the other's language, with about a 1–2 second delay. It costs a flat $0.25 per minute across 60+ languages, with no contracts and no minimums. TalkTool is not a Kixie marketplace app or API integration — there's nothing to install in your Kixie account. It joins the call over the regular phone network, so it works with your existing Kixie setup exactly as it works with any landline, mobile, or VoIP line. Your customer needs no app and no download; they simply hear a natural-sounding voice in their own language on the same call. After you hang up, a two-language transcript and an AI summary are saved automatically in your TalkTool dashboard for follow-up and record-keeping.

Add a live interpreter to a Kixie call

Get your TalkTool number and org code
Create a TalkTool account to get your dedicated conference number and your organization code. Keep both handy next to your Kixie dialer — you'll enter them once the interpreter picks up. New accounts include free minutes so you can test a real call before committing.
- Your org code is the same every time, so save it where reps can see it
- Note the two-digit code for the language you call most (for example, 01 for Spanish)
- Works whether you dial from the Kixie browser app, Chrome extension, or mobile app
- 2
Start or take your Kixie call as usual
Place your outbound PowerCall or answer an inbound call in Kixie the way you normally would. You can connect with your customer first to confirm the language they speak, or bring TalkTool in before you dial out — either order works.
- If you're not sure of the language, a quick 'Español? One moment' usually does it
- Keep the Kixie call active — you'll add the interpreter as a third line, not transfer away
- Disposition and notes in Kixie work exactly as before
- 3
Conference in your TalkTool number
Use Kixie's transfer or 3-way conference control to put your customer on a brief hold and open a second line, then dial your TalkTool conference number. Merge the calls so the AI interpreter is on the same call alongside you and your customer.
- In the Kixie PowerCall dialer, this is the transfer / conference action, then 'merge' to make it a 3-way call
- A live transfer keeps everyone connected; a hold transfer puts your customer on hold while you dial TalkTool, then merges
- You stay on the line the whole time — nothing is handed off
- 4
Enter your org code and the language
When TalkTool answers, enter your organization code followed by #. Then enter the two-digit code for your customer's language — for example, 01 for Spanish. TalkTool confirms the language before connecting.
- Enter the code for the language the customer speaks, not English
- The # after your org code tells TalkTool you're done entering it
- Listen for the spoken confirmation so you know the right language is set
- 5
Press 1 to dial out, or 2 if connected
Press 1 to have TalkTool dial your customer for a fresh call, or press 2 if they're already on the line through Kixie. Merge the lines into the conference and the AI interprets both sides live at $0.25/min until you hang up.
- Use 2 in most cases, since your customer is already on the Kixie call
- Speak in natural, complete sentences and pause to let the interpreter render them
- After the call, find the transcript and summary in your TalkTool dashboard
Why add TalkTool to Kixie calls
Live AI translation on the calls you already make — nothing to install.
Works with your existing Kixie setup
No marketplace app, plugin, or API connector to install. TalkTool joins over the phone line, so it works with Kixie's PowerCall dialer, Chrome extension, and mobile app exactly as they are today.
60+ languages on demand
Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, Haitian Creole, Arabic, Portuguese and dozens more — pick the language with a two-digit code each time you add the interpreter to a call.
Connected in seconds, not minutes
No hold queue and no scheduling. Conference in your TalkTool number, enter a code, and the interpreter is live — so your reps keep momentum on outbound dials and live transfers.
Flat $0.25 per minute
One simple rate across every language, with no contracts and no minimums — roughly 6–14x cheaper than the $1.50–$3.50/min you'd pay a human phone interpreter.

Each call is saved with a two-language transcript and an AI summary in your TalkTool dashboard — handy for QA, CRM notes, and compliance alongside your Kixie call logs.
No app for your customer
The person on the other end stays on the normal phone call and simply hears a natural-sounding voice in their own language. Nothing to download, install, or sign up for.

Scalability
Kixie is built for speed — power dialing, instant click-to-call, and live transfers that keep sales and support teams moving. The one thing it doesn't do is bridge a language gap mid-call. TalkTool fills that gap by conferencing a live AI interpreter into the Kixie call you're already on, in 60+ languages, for a flat $0.25 a minute.
How TalkTool works with Kixie
TalkTool doesn't replace anything in your Kixie stack and doesn't require a marketplace app or API integration. It works the same way a three-way call does: while you're on a live PowerCall, you use Kixie's transfer or 3-way conference control — a live or hold transfer — to open a second line and dial your TalkTool conference number, then merge the calls. The interpreter answers, you enter your organization code followed by #, then the two-digit code for your customer's language — for example, 01 for Spanish.
Next you press 1 to have TalkTool dial your customer, or 2 if they're already on the Kixie line, and merge everyone into the conference. From there the AI listens to both sides and speaks each person's words in the other's language with about a 1–2 second delay. Because it all happens over the regular phone network, this flow is identical whether your rep is in the Kixie web app, the Chrome extension, or the mobile app. For a deeper walkthrough, see how to conference in an AI interpreter.
AI interpreter vs. a human phone line
Traditional phone interpreters from services like LanguageLine or CyraCom mean dialing a vendor, navigating a menu, and waiting in a hold queue before a third human joins your call — all while your customer sits on hold. For a team that lives in a power dialer, that friction kills momentum.
TalkTool connects in seconds, is available around the clock, and keeps the conversation between just you and your customer — no extra human on the line. It's also dramatically cheaper: a flat $0.25/min versus the $1.50–$3.50/min typical of human interpreters. Human interpreters still have their place for the most sensitive legal or medical matters, but for everyday sales and support calls, the math and the speed both favor AI. See a fuller comparison on our LanguageLine alternatives page.
Who on a Kixie team benefits
Kixie is popular with outbound sales teams, SDRs, collections groups, and support desks that dial high volumes every day. Any of them will hit prospects and customers who'd rather speak Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, or Haitian Creole — and a rep who can switch into the customer's language closes and resolves more.
A bilingual rep isn't always available, and even when one is, they can only speak one second language. With TalkTool, a single English-speaking rep can take a Spanish call on one dial and a Vietnamese call on the next, picking the language with a two-digit code each time. The two-language transcript and AI summary saved after each call also drop neatly into your CRM notes and QA workflow.
What it costs
Pricing is a flat $0.25 per minute for every language, with no contracts, no minimums, and no per-seat licensing — you pay only for the minutes you actually interpret, on top of your normal Kixie plan. A ten-minute bilingual call costs $2.50. The same call through a human interpreter line could run $15 to $35.
Because there's nothing to install and nothing for your customer to download, the only thing to evaluate is whether faster, cheaper interpretation helps your team. New accounts include free minutes to test on a real call. See full details on our pricing page, or learn more about reducing interpreter costs.
