Siri Still Doesn't Speak Hungarian (2026): Which Voice Assistant Understands Hungarian on iPhone?

TL;DR:

• Siri doesn't understand Hungarian. Apple's iOS 27 feature availability page lists 37 countries and regions for Siri, and Hungary isn't one of them (checked November 10, 2026). Siri AI is listed as unavailable in the European Union.
• Hungarian works in smaller parts of iOS: keyboard dictation, the Hungarian keyboard, Safari voice search, call recording and Hungarian as the iPhone's system language. Dictation has no automatic punctuation and no offline mode in Hungarian.
• Google's Gemini app lists Hungarian, with a footnote that "Hey Google" voice commands and some action features don't work in it. It's good for questions; your plans still need a home.
• Use Codot when you want a Hungarian sentence to become tasks, reminders and calendar changes in one place. Codot is our product. In Hungary, Codot Max costs 5,990 Ft a month or 44,990 Ft a year, and every new account gets 7 days of Max free.

Disclosure: Codot, a voice-first personal AI assistant, is our product, so we aren't neutral. Bence, the electrician below, is fictional. Everything about Apple and Google comes from their own pages, linked and checked on November 10, 2026. We haven't run a formal Hungarian speech-recognition test on any of these assistants, so we don't rank them by accuracy.

Bence is a self-employed electrician in Debrecen. Most of his work gets agreed by phone while he's on a ladder: a callback here, a survey moved there, a box of cable to pick up before Monday. He can't type with a tester in one hand, and Siri won't take a Hungarian sentence. This article is for people like him: you work for yourself, you think in Hungarian, and you want what you say to your phone to end up saved with a date.

At a glance

Does Siri understand Hungarian in 2026?

No. The Siri section of Apple's iOS and iPadOS 27 feature availability page lists the countries and regions where Siri works, from Australia to Vietnam, and Hungary isn't among them. Hungarian is also missing from "Siri: Translations", so Siri won't even translate a phrase into Hungarian. On the same page, the new Siri AI is marked "Available in English - Not available in China mainland and the European Union". Hungary is in the EU, so switching the phone to English doesn't bring Siri AI to a Hungarian iPhone either.

Hungarian does show up elsewhere on that page: under Dictation as "Hungarian (Hungary)", under the QuickType keyboard, Safari voice search, Phone call recording and the system language list. Apple supports Hungarian text and Hungarian dictation. It just doesn't let you talk to Siri in it, and Apple hasn't announced a date.

We've covered the same gap for Polish and Czech. The practical advice is the same: plan as if Hungarian Siri won't arrive this year.

Does Gemini speak Hungarian?

Yes, with two gaps Google states itself. Google's Gemini mobile app availability page lists "Hungarian*" among the app's languages, and the asterisk reads: "Language does not support “Hey Google” voice commands and some Gemini action features."

That makes Gemini a decent "Siri helyett" (instead of Siri) for questions: explain a regulation, draft a message to a customer, translate a supplier's email. On iPhone, Gemini is a separate app you open yourself, or put on the Action button if your model has one. Gemini is built for conversation. When Bence says "remind me to call Mrs. Kovács tomorrow at nine", he wants that saved in a list with a time, and that is a different job from answering a question.

What works in Hungarian on an iPhone today?

These cost nothing and are already on the phone.

Hungarian dictation in Apple Reminders

Apple lists Hungarian (Hungary) under Dictation, so the free way to add a Hungarian reminder is:

1. Open Reminders and tap New Reminder.
2. Tap the microphone on the keyboard. Make sure the Hungarian keyboard is active (tap the globe if it isn't).
3. Say the reminder, for example "visszahívni Kovácsnét a fürdőszoba miatt" (call Mrs. Kovács back about the bathroom).
4. Tap the i and set the date and time by hand. Dictation writes the words; it doesn't read a time out of them.

The same Apple page shows the limits. Hungarian isn't listed for Auto-Punctuation or for On-Device and Modeless Dictation, so you say "vessző" and "pont" out loud and the phone needs a connection. And you still get one reminder per dictation.

Voice memos and call recording

Voice Memos records Hungarian fine, and Apple lists Hungarian for Phone call recording. Getting text out is where it stops: Hungarian isn't among the languages for audio transcription in Notes or for call transcription. A recorded call with a customer stays audio you replay later.

Safari voice search and a Hungarian iPhone

You can search the web by voice in Hungarian in Safari, and you can run the whole iPhone in Hungarian as its system language. Neither saves a task.

Which virtual assistant understands Hungarian and can take tasks?

Use Codot when you want to say one Hungarian sentence and have tasks, reminders and calendar changes land in one place, without opening three apps. Codot is a personal AI assistant you talk to. Its speech recognition runs on a large language model, so it understands spoken Hungarian along with most major languages. Your tasks, calendar, notes, people, habits, meals and expenses all sit in the same app, so one sentence can touch several of them at once.

You can talk to it in the iPhone app, from a Lock Screen widget, on Apple Watch, on the web, and in the Android app. One honest note for Hungarian users: Codot's menus and buttons aren't available in Hungarian yet, so the app interface shows in English or another supported language. What you say in Hungarian is understood all the same.

One sentence, three changes

Here is the kind of sentence Bence says at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, still on the ladder:

"Holnap kilenckor visszahívni Kovácsnét a fürdőszoba miatt, a pénteki felmérést Nagyéknál tedd át hétfő reggel nyolcra, és vegyek két doboz 2,5-ös kábelt."

(Tomorrow at nine call Mrs. Kovács back about the bathroom, move Friday's survey at the Nagys' to Monday at eight, and I need to buy two boxes of 2.5 mm² cable.)

Codot handles the three parts separately: a reminder for Thursday at 9:00, the Friday survey moved to Monday at 8:00, and a new task for the cable. That's three apps' worth of work (reminders, calendar, and the best voice shopping list app) done by one sentence in one place.

Sentences to say during a working day

Grouped by the moment they come up. Say them the way they come out:

• Morning, in the van: "Ma délután háromra a Piac utcai iroda, vigyem a lakatfogót." (This afternoon at three, the office on Piac utca, bring the clamp meter.)
• On site, after agreeing a price: "Jegyzet Szabó Péterről: a tetőtérbe négy új konnektort kér, árajánlatot csütörtökig küldjem." (Note about Péter Szabó: he wants four new sockets in the loft, send the quote by Thursday.) This lands on Péter's contact, so it's there next time he calls.
• Between jobs: "Minden hónap 5-én emlékeztess, hogy küldjem el a számlákat a könyvelőnek." (On the 5th of every month, remind me to send the invoices to my accountant.) Repeating reminders like this are part of Codot Max.
• Evening: "Mi van holnapra?" (What's on tomorrow?) Codot lists the day's tasks and appointments.

Codot can write its tasks into Google Calendar and Apple Calendar so they show up next to everything else; it doesn't read the appointments you already have there. On iPhone, Codot Max also sends a daily briefing each morning, and a scheduled routine such as "every Friday at 6 p.m. list the quotes I still owe" runs on its own.

On price: the free plan covers tasks, the calendar, notes, the personal CRM, voice input, habits, calorie logging and expenses. Reminders at a set time, repeating tasks, daily briefings, scheduled routines and email triage are part of Codot Max, which costs 5,990 Ft a month or 44,990 Ft a year on the Hungarian App Store, with 20x the free plan's usage. Every new account gets 7 days of Max free and then drops back to the free plan without charging you. Data is encrypted and never sold. Codot handles your plans; for timers, calls and HomeKit, keep using Siri in another language or the buttons.

How should a self-employed worker in Hungary choose?

Our opinion, as the team that makes one of the options:

• Jobs and callbacks come up while your hands are busy, and you want them saved with times without opening a list: Codot. Say it in Hungarian and check the result once you're off the ladder.
• You mostly want answers and drafts in Hungarian: the Gemini app, free.
• You add a few reminders a week: Hungarian dictation in Apple Reminders, with dates set by hand. Free.
• You need quotes, invoices and job cards: a dedicated trade app; we compared them in best apps for tradesmen. Codot catches the job on site, and the trade app handles the paperwork.
• You want Siri itself in Hungarian: only Apple can ship that.

FAQ

Does Siri speak Hungarian?

No. As of November 10, 2026, Apple's iOS 27 feature availability page doesn't list Hungary for Siri, Hungarian isn't among Siri's translation languages, and Siri AI isn't offered in the European Union.

Which AI understands Hungarian?

Google's Gemini app lists Hungarian, without "Hey Google" and some action features. Codot understands spoken Hungarian and turns it into tasks, reminders, calendar changes and contact notes on iPhone and Android.

Is there a Hungarian voice assistant for iPhone?

Not from Apple. Hungarian keyboard dictation is free on iPhone but only types text. Codot takes a Hungarian sentence and saves it as dated tasks and reminders; its menus are in English, and timed reminders need Codot Max (5,990 Ft a month in Hungary, 7 days free for new accounts).

Can Gemini replace Siri on an iPhone in Hungarian?

Partly. The Gemini app answers questions in Hungarian, but it runs as a separate app and Google says Hungarian lacks "Hey Google" voice commands and some action features. For tasks and reminders, Codot is the better fit.

If you've stopped waiting for Siri to learn Hungarian, say your next job to Codot on the App Store. On Android, it's on Google Play.
