A workflow for content in Indian languages
Write the source once, in the language you think in, then adapt rather than translate word for word. A general assistant such as Gemini or ChatGPT is good at a first draft in Hindi, Tamil or Bengali; Gemini covers ten Indian languages in our data and ChatGPT six. For voice, ElevenLabs and Murf AI turn scripts into narration, and Synthesia adds a presenter for video in five Indian languages. Sarvam AI covers ten languages across text, speech and translation, priced per use in rupees.
Always have a native speaker read the final version. Machine output in Indian languages can be grammatically correct but sound stiff or use the wrong register — formal Hindi where your audience speaks Hinglish, for example.
Budget
You can do a lot for free: Gemini, ChatGPT, Krutrim and Hindi AI all have free options. Paid plans for ChatGPT and Gemini start at ₹399 a month. Sarvam suits higher volumes because you pay only for what you process, and it's the only option here with a GST invoice and India-hosted data alongside Krutrim.
