Dictionary Api

Give callers clear word definitions, spellings and pronunciations with Dictionary Api.

Connect Dictionary Api to your AgentCalls number and your agent can look up word definitions, phonetics and word origins while it talks. Useful for language schools, tutoring services, translation firms and any business where callers ask what a word means or how to say it. Your agent pulls the entry from your Dictionary Api account and reads back the meaning in plain language. Nothing is stored in the call transcript beyond what you already keep.

Example calls

Caller asks for a definition during a tutoring inquiry

  1. Caller

    Hi, my daughter came across the word ephemeral in her reading. Can you tell me what it means?

  2. Agent

    Of course. Ephemeral is an adjective meaning lasting for a very short time. Would you like me to share how it is pronounced as well?

  3. Caller

    Yes, please. And do you offer sessions for vocabulary?

  4. Agent

    Yes, we do. Ephemeral is pronounced ih-FEM-er-ul. I can book a vocabulary session for her this Thursday at 4 pm if that works.

Language school checks a word and its origin

  1. Caller

    I am studying English at your school and I keep hearing the word serendipity. Where does it come from?

  2. Agent

    Serendipity comes from the word Serendip, an old name for Sri Lanka, and was coined by Horace Walpole in 1754. It means a happy discovery made by chance.

  3. Caller

    That is helpful. Can I enroll in your next conversation class?

  4. Agent

    Certainly. The next conversation class starts on Monday the 14th at 6:30 pm. Shall I reserve a place under your name?

Outbound follow-up after a lesson

  1. Agent

    Hello, this is the team at the language center calling for Maya. You asked about the meaning of resilient after your last lesson.

  2. Caller

    Yes, I did. Can you remind me what it means?

  3. Agent

    Resilient means able to recover quickly from difficulties. It is pronounced ri-ZIL-yent. Would you like to continue with the next unit on Friday at 10 am?

  4. Caller

    Friday at 10 works. Thank you.
