Language & Voice System
Everything about how Nuva handles languages, voice input, and voice output.

Important
The mobile app UI supports 34 display languages, but the AI response system works with the five core languages above. Kurdish dialect and script rules are strictly enforced by the AI.
How Language Affects AI Responses
When you select a language in Nuva's settings, the AI adapts its behavior:
AI Response Language
The AI always responds in the same language as your last message. A language instruction is also injected based on your settings to enforce strict language compliance.
Kurdish Dialect Rules
For Kurdish, the AI always defaults to Sorani (Central Kurdish) with Arabic-based letters (RTL). It will NOT use Latin letters for Kurdish unless you explicitly request it. Badini/Kurmanji is only used if you explicitly say “badini” or “kurmanji” — and even then defaults to Arabic script unless you specifically ask for Latin.
UI Language
On the web app, UI supports English, Arabic, and Kurdish Sorani. The mobile app supports 34 languages including brand name transliterations for non-Latin scripts.
Chat History
Previous messages remain in the language they were sent in. Changing the language only affects new messages.
Voice Input
Nuva lets you speak instead of type. Voice recordings are processed instantly by Nuva's AI.
How to use voice input
Tap the microphone button in the chat input area (appears when no text is typed). Speak clearly. Your voice is recorded and sent directly to Nuva's AI for processing.
Processing
Your voice is processed by Nuva's AI, which understands the speech and generates a text response. Audio is NOT permanently stored — it is processed securely and discarded.
Recording limit
Voice recordings have a 2-minute safety cap. For longer messages, you can record multiple times.
Requirements
Voice recording requires microphone permission on your device. Make sure to grant Nuva microphone access when prompted.
Examples
“What are the side effects of ibuprofen?” → Nuva responds in English
“ئایبوپرۆفێن چ کاریگەرییەکی لاوەکی هەیە؟” → Nuva responds in Kurdish Sorani (Arabic script)
“ما هي الآثار الجانبية للإيبوبروفين؟” → Nuva responds in Arabic
Voice Output
Nuva can read AI responses aloud using text-to-speech technology.
How it works
After receiving an AI response, you can tap the speaker icon to hear it read aloud. The speech follows the language of the response.
Language consistency
Voice output matches the language of the AI response. If the AI replied in Arabic, the voice output will be in Arabic.
How to Change Your Language
Step 1
Open Nuva and go to Settings.
Step 2
Tap Language and select from the five available options.
Step 3
The app will immediately update. All new AI responses and voice interactions will use your new language.
