Understanding Hindi transcription

Who transcribes Hindi content?

Hindi transcription is used by Indian broadcasters and film and OTT subtitling teams, YouTube and podcast creators serving one of the world's largest online audiences, and market researchers running interviews and focus groups across northern India. Government and legal offices, academics, and diaspora media outlets also transcribe Hindi recordings for records, research, and captioning.

Hindi dialects and accents

Standard Hindi is based on the Khari Boli dialect of the Delhi region, but everyday speech across northern India shades into related varieties such as Awadhi, Braj, and Bhojpuri. Spoken Hindi also overlaps heavily with Urdu, and urban speakers frequently mix in English ("Hinglish"), so recordings often contain more than one register.
