The Hindi photo translator that reads Devanagari offline.

AI Translate reads Devanagari through the camera and shows English on top of the Hindi, so station boards, shop signs, menus and government notices become readable without typing a single character. The Hindi pack works offline, which helps on trains and in towns with weak data.

Common Hindi phrases

What you will actually see on signs and menus.

A few of the phrases the app translates hundreds of times a day. Pronunciation shown in Latin transliteration.

Tip: Devanagari has a horizontal top line joining letters. Keep the phone level with the text so the recognizer sees whole words rather than fragments.
