Open the original- What it measures
- BHASHINI is the government's language platform. The press material describes translation for a public chatbot at a large event, which shows the platform in use rather than a dictation product.
- What it does not show
- This describes translation for one event in 2025, not a voice typing or speech to text service. It does not say which speech recognition features are available to developers.
