One number.
Every language, clearly understood.
One interpreter number in front of your business — a live interpreter bridges US English and 12 other languages in real time.
- Small businesses: a bilingual front door on your existing line
- Corporations: internal helpdesks and support across countries
- International customers and employees abroad, clearly understood
For corporate support lines and internal helpdesks — and for clinics, agencies, and local offices too. Not for 911 or emergencies.
5-minute setup: sign up, purchase your number for $2, and get 10 free minutes on your account to try it out.
What you get
A bilingual front door for your business line
Instant, natural interpretation on the phone number your customers already call — no new hardware, no new habits, no waiting on hold.
Over the phone
A bilingual front door for your phone line
ODOTP answers your number with a bilingual menu. English callers connect straight through; Spanish-speaking callers get a live interpreter while ODOTP rings your staff — nobody waits on hold.
- English callers ring straight through — zero change
- Spanish callers get an interpreter automatically
- No new habits for your staff to learn
For your staff
Nothing new to learn
Your team answers the phone exactly like they do today. When a Spanish-speaking customer calls, the interpreter is already on the line — introducing each side and interpreting turn by turn until the call ends.
- Staff picks up their usual line — the interpreter is already there
- Turn-by-turn interpretation both sides can follow
- Say "Interpreter, end" to wrap up cleanly
The problem
A language barrier shouldn't cost you the call
One in five US households speaks a language other than English at home. When that call comes in, most small offices have three bad options.
Customers hang up at the language barrier
A Spanish-speaking caller reaches your front desk, can't be understood, and gives up — that's a lost patient, client, or sale.
15 minutes on hold for a human interpreter
Dial-an-interpreter hotlines mean queues and hold music while your caller waits — and your staff is stuck on the line.
$2–8 per minute, with minimums
Human interpretation services bill by the minute with 3-minute minimums. The costs add up fast for a small office.

Who it's for
One interpreter, two ways to put it to work
Whether you run a local office or a global company, ODOTP bridges US English and 12 other languages — Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Hindi/Urdu, Arabic, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Russian.
Enterprise
One interpreter number for your US support
Give your company a single interpreter number in front of US customer support. Anyone who calls it from abroad — an employee or an international customer — speaks one of our 12 supported languages and communicates clearly, connected with a live interpreter to the US counterpart mapped to their line. One number covers internal company support and external international support.
- Employees and customers connect by phone today — no new tools to roll out
- Each international line maps to its US counterpart
- English plus 12 languages, one consistent interpreter experience
Coming in a future version: WebRTC connection, so employees can join directly from the browser — phone dial-in is how teams connect today.
Small business
Your local interpreter, on your business line
For small companies, ODOTP is the interpreter your office could never keep on staff. It lives right on your existing business number: it answers every call, lets English speakers ring straight through, and brings a live interpreter into the conversation the moment a caller needs another language.
- Works on the phone number your customers already call
- No scheduling, no per-minute hotline fees, no hold music
- Your staff answers exactly like they do today
How the phone interpreter works
Your callers dial the number they already know — ODOTP handles the rest.
Customer calls your number
ODOTP answers your business line with a friendly bilingual greeting.
Caller picks a language
"Press 1 for English, marque 2 para español." English callers ring straight through — nothing changes.
Interpreter joins instantly
Spanish callers are greeted by the live interpreter while ODOTP dials your staff on a second line.
Interpretation, turn by turn
Each speaker is interpreted after their turn. Both sides hear both languages.
End cleanly
The call wraps up naturally, or staff says "Interpreter, end."
Why ODOTP
Designed specifically for SMB staff — not call center agents, not enterprise IT teams.
Answers, then connects
ODOTP answers your line and connects the caller to your staff — with an interpreter already on when one is needed.
English ↔ Spanish by default
Pre-configured for the most common US business language pair. Add Portuguese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, French, and more.
Consecutive interpretation
Speaks after each turn, not over the speaker. Natural pacing for professional business conversations.
No scheduling, no hold music
Interpretation starts the moment a language barrier appears on the call. No 800-number waiting queues.
Compliance-conscious design
Caller consent disclosure built in. Configurable for HIPAA-conscious environments. Your keys, your data.
Your accounts, your audio policy
Call audio flows through your own Twilio and OpenAI accounts. Recording can be enabled or turned off per your policy — audio may be stored unless you opt out.
