AI in Indian languages · checked 11 November 2026
ChatGPT, Gemini or Claude for everyday use in Hindi, Tamil and other Indian languages; Sarvam when you build for Indian-language users.
Gemini's web app lists more than 70 languages, Odia, Assamese and Urdu included, and ChatGPT's voice mode hears Hindi once you set the language. Assistants understand Hinglish typed in English letters but are less reliable with it. Sarvam charges Rs 0.49 a minute for speech-to-text across 22 Indian languages, and the government's Bhashini translates documents and video.
