Hindi Audio to Text
Transcribe and translate Hindi recordings, pay as you go
Hindi audio is transcribed into Devanagari script. Auto-detect recognizes Hindi, and you can also pick it in the Audio language menu. In Hinglish recordings, English words may come out in Latin script or in Devanagari.
Upload a Hindi audio or video file (up to 1GB) and get a transcript with timestamps and speaker labels. Export it as TXT, Markdown, CSV, SRT, VTT or JSON, or translate it into English or any of the 59 supported languages.
Regions & Dialects Supported
PlainScribe transcribes Hindi as spoken in:

- Regional accents
- Speech from Bihar, Rajasthan, Mumbai and elsewhere is transcribed into standard Hindi spelling.
Choosing Hindi as the audio language
Spoken Hindi and Urdu are nearly the same language, and the difference shows up mainly in the script. Choose Hindi to get Devanagari output. If you want Perso-Arabic script, choose Urdu. Hindi is one of the languages Auto-detect recognizes, but picking it is still the safer choice for short clips and for recordings that open in English.
Reviewing a Hindi transcript
For Hinglish, decide whether English terms should stay in Latin script and make them consistent. Check names and the nasal marks (bindu/chandrabindu) in quotes.
Hindi mixed with English
PlainScribe transcribes each file in the one language you pick; it has no separate mixed-language mode. For Hinglish, pick Hindi if most sentences are Hindi. English words and phrases come out either in Latin script or in Devanagari, often both in one file, so settle on one style before you publish quotes. For a meeting that is mostly English with Hindi asides, pick English and expect the Hindi parts to need review.

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is PlainScribe's Hindi transcription?
Accuracy depends on audio quality, background noise, accents and the language itself, and clear recordings in widely spoken languages do best. We don't publish an accuracy figure for Hindi: try your own recording with the free first transcript. Auto-detect recognizes Hindi, so you can leave "Audio language" on Auto. Picking Hindi yourself is still safer for short clips and recordings that open in another language.
