LetsVoice offers 92 language selection options, including Hinglish and mixed Indian-language pairs. Those are selection options, not 92 separate languages, and the difference is worth understanding if you speak a blend of languages every day.
What Hinglish is
Hinglish is the natural mix of Hindi and English that many people speak, often within a single sentence. "Kal ki meeting ke liye presentation ready kar dena, aur client ko email bhej dena." There is nothing unusual about it for millions of speakers. It is simply how they talk.
For speech-to-text, that mix is hard. A system trained to expect one language at a time can stumble when the language changes mid-sentence. It may force Hindi words into English spellings, or the other way round, and the result looks strange.
What a good transcript should get right
If you dictate in Hinglish, these are the things to look for.
Both languages recognized. Hindi words should come out as Hindi words and English words as English, in the same sentence.
A consistent script. Many people prefer Roman script (the Latin alphabet) for Hinglish because it matches how they type messages. The transcript should follow the style you choose, rather than switching unpredictably.
Names and terms intact. Company names, product names and people's names are often the first things to break. They should survive the switch.
Sensible punctuation. Spoken Hinglish has its own rhythm. A transcript should break sentences where a reader would expect.
No system is perfect here. Expect to read and correct, especially on a first note.
How to set it up in LetsVoice
Go to Settings and look for the language you speak. LetsVoice offers 92 selection options. Among them are Hinglish and 54 mixed Indian-language pairs. If you blend two languages in the same sentence, look for your pair in the list rather than choosing a single language.
You also have a choice about how it listens. You can pick a language yourself, or let LetsVoice detect it as you speak. If you always speak the same blend, picking it directly is usually more predictable. If you change between languages across the day, detection saves you a trip to settings.
Custom vocabulary
Names and specialized words are the main source of mistakes in any language. Use My Vocabulary in Settings to add the words you use often: client names, product names, place names, and technical terms.
Examples for a Hinglish speaker might include a colleague's name, a brand, a local neighborhood and an industry term you use in English. Adding them once improves the following notes. You can add more any time a word comes out wrong.
Translation, when you need it
Sometimes you speak in one language and need to share in another. A note can be translated into English, which is helpful when you share a summary with a colleague who does not read Hindi. Review a translation before you rely on it, since nuance and idiom can shift.
A practical example
Maya works in operations in Pune and talks to her team in a mix of Hindi and English. After a supplier call she records:
"Aaj ki call mein supplier ne bola ki delivery Friday tak aa jayegi, lekin pricing pe abhi bhi confirmation pending hai. Mujhe Rohan ko batana hai aur Monday ko follow up karna hai."
With Hinglish selected, she looks at the note. The words come out in Roman script. The days of the week are right. She notices that the supplier's name was spelled two ways, so she adds it to her vocabulary.
The note is sorted as a to-do. She sees two items: tell Rohan, follow up on Monday. She checks the date and moves on.
Tips for dictating mixed-language notes
- Speak at a steady pace. Rapid switches are harder to catch than relaxed ones.
- Say names clearly. Slow down slightly for proper nouns.
- Keep background noise low. Mixed-language recognition has less room for error.
- Do your first checks on a short note. A thirty second sample tells you what to fix.
- Review important notes. Names, numbers and dates deserve a second look.
What not to expect
No transcription handles every blend, accent or speed perfectly. Colloquial words, slang and fast code-switching can all cause errors. Treat the transcript as a working draft, not a legal record.
If you need a verbatim record of an important conversation, keep the audio and read the text against it.
