India speaks in hundreds of tongues, and short-form creators publish in far more languages than caption tools traditionally support. Hatcut now transcribes all 22 scheduled Indian languages using speech AI built specifically for Indic audio.
The full list
Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Odia, Assamese, Nepali, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Konkani, Maithili, Dogri, Bodo, Manipuri, and Santali — plus English and European languages via Whisper.
Native script or romanized
Every Indian language project can output captions two ways:
- Native script — Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali script and so on
- Romanized — the same words in Latin letters, the way most short-form audiences read
You can also translate captions to English, Spanish, French, German, or Portuguese from the same transcript.
Why a specialist model matters
Generic models were trained mostly on English and European audio. Indic-specialist speech AI is trained on over a million hours of Indian speech — real accents, background noise, code-mixed sentences — which roughly halves the error rate on Hindi benchmarks.
