63 million Indians can't answer a phone call.
We're changing that.

SunoSathi turns your own mobile number into a captioned phone. When someone calls, you read live subtitles of their words — in हिन्दी, ગુજરાતી, English or Hinglish, detected automatically (more Indian languages coming soon) — and reply with your voice, by typing, or by tapping pictures that speak for you. The caller just… calls. No app, no link, nothing special.

The moment we're building for — हर घर की एक सच्ची कहानी

पूरी बात हुई — बिना किसी सहारे के

A normal phone call. That's the whole point.

Assistive tech usually asks the world to change. SunoSathi doesn't — the caller dials a normal number and talks normally.

Your own number rings here

Dial one forwarding code (**21*…#) once, and calls to the number your family already knows ring in SunoSathi — with vibration and lock-screen alerts, even when the phone is in your pocket.

You read, like a chat

The caller's words appear as live chat bubbles in the language they speak — Hindi, Gujarati, English, or mixed. If a language can't be identified, it's written the way it sounds — "kem cho".

You reply — your way

Speak, and the caller hears you directly. Or type — they hear your words in a natural voice you choose. Or tap picture tiles that say whole sentences for you. Every way is a real reply on a real call.

Built for India, not translated for it

Speaks your India

Auto-detects Hindi, Gujarati, English and Hinglish mid-sentence — powered by Sarvam AI, built for Indian speech. Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia coming soon.

Truly live

Captions land in under a second at natural pauses. A real conversation, not a transcript afterwards.

Calls out too

Call your contacts or any number. They see a normal call from your number — and hear your real voice.

Never lose a word

Every call saved as transcript + audio. The doctor's instructions, the delivery address — always there to re-read.

Rings your way

Continuous vibration and lock-screen alerts — even with the app closed and the screen off. Every call gets noticed.

Type, and be heard

Can't speak? Type — the caller hears your words a second later in a natural voice you choose. The moment you start typing, the caller is told to hold on. One-tap phrases for the quick stuff.

Talk in pictures

A picture board speaks whole sentences with one tap — हाँ, रुकिए, "मैं घर पर हूँ". Built for sign-language-first users. No typing, no reading needed.

Quality, measured

Every call is automatically re-checked for caption accuracy. We publish our numbers to ourselves before anyone else.

Quiet in the noise

Street, TV, kitchen — background sound is learned and silenced before it can turn into junk captions. Speech over the noise still gets written.

Missed? You still know

Couldn't answer? A Telegram message tells you who called and when — so a missed call never becomes a missed doctor, delivery or friend.

Hear it too

Hard of hearing, not deaf? Keep the caller's voice on alongside the captions — or switch it off for silence. Captions grow to the size your eyes want.

Any phone, any browser

Android app, iPhone app, or just a browser tab. No microphone? No problem — the call simply runs in type-to-speak mode.

What people said in the first 48 hours

"Such a need of the hour! How can one get this tested? I run an NGO for around 70 deaf children and adults… This could be incredibly useful for the deaf community."

NGO founder · deaf-community organisation, pan-India network

"Execution is impressive, but choosing the right problem is what makes this stand out."

Founder · accountability platform

"Didn't think of a problem like that could be solved using speech models. Great stuff."

Product Lead · major private bank

"Possibly useful for people without hearing difficulties also — when you're in a quiet room and don't want anyone else to listen."

AI consultant · on wider use-cases
