How to Write Emails in Hindi by Voice — Step by Step

· Hindi, email, formal writing, how to

Writing a Hindi email on a laptop is slow because almost nobody has learned the InScript layout. Dictation removes the keyboard from the problem entirely, and the structure of an email is regular enough that AI formatting can assemble it for you.

The five-step flow

  1. Open the Hindi voice typing page and allow microphone access
  2. Select Hindi (हिन्दी)
  3. Dictate the content in the order you would say it aloud: who you are, why you are writing, what you need, by when
  4. Choose the Email structure with a Formal tone and format
  5. Copy into Gmail and send

You do not need to speak the greeting or the sign-off — the formatting step adds them in the register you chose.

What to say

Speak in plain, complete sentences. A useful pattern:

> "मैं दिल्ली शाखा से बात कर रहा हूँ। पिछले महीने का बिल अभी तक नहीं मिला है। कृपया इस सप्ताह के अंत तक भेज दें।"

That is enough for the formatter to produce a full, properly structured letter.

Formal Hindi register

  • Use आप throughout; a single तुम makes the whole email read wrong
  • कृपया for requests, धन्यवाद to close
  • Prefer निवेदन है कि over a direct imperative in official correspondence
  • Sentences end with the danda (।), not a full stop

Mixing English words

Business Hindi contains English terms — invoice, meeting, deadline, payment — and forcing Sanskritised equivalents makes an email harder to read, not more correct. Speak naturally; brand names and common business terms stay in English while the sentence structure stays Hindi.

Common mistakes

  • Wrong matras on long words: pronounce ई and ऊ clearly
  • Mixed scripts in one email: check that nothing was left in Roman before sending
  • Over-long sentences: pause between thoughts so sentence boundaries land in the right place
  • Untested subject line: dictate it separately, keep it under about ten words

Reusable templates

Dictate one template each for a payment reminder, a leave application, a complaint and a follow-up. Store them in a notes app and change only the specifics — most Hindi office correspondence reuses the same four shapes.
