# Can a notetaker transcribe a meeting held in Hindi and English? > For developers, consultants and anyone whose Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls run in Hinglish, Hindi and English inside one sentence: whether TrackHeros can transcribe them, what the transcript looks like, which language the notes come out in when Hindi is not one of the notes languages, and what to check — lakh and crore, name spellings, a third language. Canonical: https://trackheros.com/answers/hindi-and-english-meeting-transcription/ Author: Sami Kanafani Updated: 2026-10-22 **In short:** Yes. TrackHeros notices when a Google Meet or Microsoft Teams meeting mixes Hindi and English, even inside one sentence, transcribes the recording and renders it into English line by line, keeping each speaker and timestamp. Hindi is not one of the nine notes languages, so the notes are written in English by default, or in another of the nine if you choose one. | Fact | Detail | | --- | --- | | Language setting | None needed; the mix is detected from the meeting | | Transcript | English, line by line; the Hindi wording is stored, not shown | | Notes language | English by default, or one of eight others; not Hindi | | Hindi with English | One of the mixes TrackHeros's language handling is tested against | A meeting that runs in Hindi and English, often inside the same sentence, can be transcribed by TrackHeros without anything being set first. The transcript comes out in English and the notes in English or another of the nine notes languages, because Hindi is not one of them. This answer is for developers, consultants and anyone else whose Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls with a team in India run in Hinglish. How the language is worked out is on [automatic language detection](/features/automatic-language-detection/); the general problem of a sentence that changes language halfway is in [when a meeting switches language mid-sentence](/blog/meeting-switches-language-mid-sentence/). ## How do Hindi and English mix in a working meeting? Constantly, and inside the sentence. The grammar is Hindi; the nouns, and many of the verbs, are English, attached with a Hindi helper verb such as _karna_ or _ho jana_. Whole English sentences appear for the formal parts, such as a status update or a commitment to the client. | Said | Roughly | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | | Kal tak staging pe deploy kar dete hain, phir demo de denge. | We'll deploy to staging by tomorrow, then do the demo. | | Budget approve ho gaya hai, lekin sirf do lakh tak. | The budget is approved, but only up to two lakh. | | Yeh API wala issue kisne raise kiya tha? Ticket assign karo. | Who raised the API issue? Assign the ticket. | Written down, the same speech can look two ways: Hindi in Devanagari with the English words left in Latin letters (कल तक staging पे deploy कर देते हैं), or everything in Latin letters, the way Hinglish is usually typed in chat. Neither matters for what you read in TrackHeros, because the transcript you read is English. ## What does TrackHeros do with a Hindi–English meeting? It sends it to an audio pass over the recording. Live captions on Google Meet and Teams decode one spoken language per meeting, so in a Hinglish call one language is always being forced through the other's vocabulary. TrackHeros notices the second language from the meeting itself and transcribes the recording with a speech model that detects the language as it goes. Each line is then rendered into English on its own, keeping its speaker and timestamp. English lines stay as they were said. The transcript page carries one line about it: "Translated to English from a conversation held in Hindi and English." Speaker names come from the meeting platform; a line that cannot be attributed reads "Unknown". Hindi mixed with English is one of the combinations TrackHeros's language handling is tested against, alongside French, Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Chinese. That tests the decisions — which meetings get the audio pass, which lines are translated — not the accuracy of the words, and no accuracy figure is published for Hindi or any other language. ## Which language are the notes written in? English, unless you choose another of the nine notes languages: English, Arabic, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian or Indonesian. Hindi is not one of them. "Same as the meeting" only picks a language from those nine, so for a Hindi–English call it picks English only when English was clearly the main language, and otherwise steps aside for your next setting. [A meeting in a language the notes cannot be written in](/answers/meeting-in-a-language-the-notes-cannot-be-written-in/) walks through the settings. ## What should I check in the English transcript? Three things that are particular to Hindi–English calls: 1. **Lakh and crore.** A lakh is 100,000 and a crore is ten million. "Do lakh" said in a budget discussion is 200,000, and a figure that passes through speech, translation and summary should be read against the recording before it reaches a proposal or an invoice. Agree with the client whether the minutes write lakh or the full number. 2. **Names with several spellings.** Lakshmi or Laxmi, Srinivas or Shrinivas: a transcript can only pick one. If it keeps picking the wrong one, a vocabulary rule fixes it for the client's later meetings; see [fixing a name the transcript keeps getting wrong](/answers/fix-a-name-the-transcript-gets-wrong/). 3. **A third language.** Some calls move between Hindi, English and Marathi, Bengali or another language. That is two languages besides English, which gets the same audio pass but is not a combination TrackHeros has tested, so no claim is made about it. The transcript page names the languages it heard. If it names one nobody spoke, read [what happens when the notetaker gets the language wrong](/answers/notetaker-detects-the-wrong-language/). Every language recognised is on [the languages page](/languages/). --- TrackHeros is in early access: https://trackheros.com/#early-access
