# How to use different languages in mAIscribe

## Learn how to record consultations in over 37 languages using mAIscribe’s multilingual and language-specific modes to ensure accurate transcription and English summaries.

mAIscribe supports recordings in **35 different languages**, making it easier than ever to work with patients who speak languages other than English - or a mix of languages during a consult.

You can choose a specific language for better accuracy, or use **Multilingual Mode** to switch between supported languages (e.g. English, Hindi, Spanish, or French) in the same recording.

Summaries and letters are still produced in English, even if the consult was in another language

     1. If you always consult in the same language, you can PIN that option to set as default
     2. You can change this setting from the language dropdown or from the Account Settings
