Hindi IVR for Inbound Lines and Outbound Calls

Greet callers in Hindi, give them a keypad menu, transfer them to the right person or take a voicemail. Or call your customers in Hindi with their own order, appointment or payment details read out. Type the words for text-to-speech, or upload your own Hindi recordings.

What you can build in Hindi

The same flow builder as every Edesy IVR, with Hindi voices

Hindi text-to-speech

Type the prompt in Devanagari or Hinglish and pick a Hindi voice from Google (hi-IN voices) or ElevenLabs. Preview it in the builder before you publish.

Your own Hindi recordings

Prefer a human voice? Upload recorded prompts (mp3, wav, m4a or ogg, up to 5 MB each) and play them anywhere in the flow.

Keypad menus

"Sales ke liye 1 dabaiye, support ke liye 2." Callers choose with the keypad; set the timeout and what happens when nothing is pressed.

Transfer and voicemail

Send each menu choice to a phone number, a SIP endpoint or voicemail, with an optional Hindi announcement before connecting.

Outbound Hindi calls by API

Place a call with per-call variables, such as name, order number or due date, and speak them inside your Hindi prompts.

Hindi or English menu

Start with a language choice ("Hindi ke liye 1, for English press 2") and run each branch in its own voice.

Example: a Hindi front-desk menu

नमस्ते, {company} में आपका स्वागत है। सेल्स के लिए 1 दबाइए। सपोर्ट के लिए 2 दबाइए। संदेश छोड़ने के लिए 3 दबाइए।

Key What happens
1 "आपको सेल्स टीम से जोड़ा जा रहा है" and transfer to the sales number
2 Transfer to support
3 Voicemail; the recording appears in your call log
Nothing pressed Your choice: a goodbye message, a transfer to reception or voicemail

Example: an outbound Hindi reminder

Your system places the call through the API and passes the details as variables. The flow speaks them in Hindi:

नमस्ते {{var.name}} जी, आपकी अपॉइंटमेंट {{var.date}} को {{var.time}} बजे है। कन्फ़र्म करने के लिए 1 दबाइए, बदलने के लिए 2 दबाइए।

The keypress can call your own API (for example to mark the appointment confirmed), and the call result is posted back to you when the call ends. See the IVR outbound call API.

Getting numbers and amounts right in Hindi

Text-to-speech voices can misread digits inside a Hindi sentence. Two ways to avoid it:

  • COD order confirmation calls do this for you: the amount is spelled out in Hindi words (for example ₹3,245 becomes तीन हज़ार दो सौ पैंतालीस) before it is spoken. See Hindi COD confirmation calls.
  • In your own flows, pass amounts and dates as variables already written the way you want them spoken, or use a recorded prompt for fixed text.
