What

Nobi currently supports 16 different languages and dialects. Within the Nobi application, these languages can be set for individual users as well as for residents.

For users and at site / community level, the language setting determines the language of the application (web and Nobi Mobile App) and the language used for audible escalation alerts.

For residents, the language setting determines the spoken voice from the Nobi light, for example voice confirmations and the morning greeting. Learn more about when and why Nobi speaks here.
