Hindi Voice Typing

The script itself is the easy part — Hindi dictation returns clean Devanagari. The thing that surprises people is code-mixing. Everyday spoken Hindi is full of English: office, mobile, ticket, meeting. The recogniser transcribes those as Latin text, sitting inside an otherwise Devanagari sentence.

That is a transcription decision, not a setting you can change. If you want the whole line in Devanagari, either fix those words in the editor afterwards or say the Hindi equivalent — karyalay rather than office. For a WhatsApp message the mixed form is usually what you wanted anyway; for a formal document it is not.

Pausing does not produce a danda. Dictate for a minute and you will get one long unpunctuated line, which is tedious to repair. Dictating a sentence at a time and adding ।, commas and question marks as you go is meaningfully faster than fixing a wall of text at the end.

This page turns spoken Hindi into written Hindi. It does not translate. If you speak English into it you will get English words, transcribed — not Hindi.

It is also a different thing from English to Hindi typing, which is transliteration: you type mera naam on a normal keyboard and get मेरा नाम. Same destination, different route — and the typing route is the one that works without a microphone or an internet connection.

The microphone belongs to your browser. On Chrome and Edge the audio is sent to the browser vendor’s speech service and text comes back; WorldTyping is never in that path and never receives audio. The text stays in your browser, saved locally so a reload does not lose your draft.

This is also why dictation needs an internet connection, and why a browser without Hindi speech support simply will not respond to the button.
