Typing in Hindi or any other regional languages on a smartphone can be tough. It takes a lot of practice to get familiar with the keyboard, especially on smaller screens as there are so many characters and elements to use. Therefore, to ease that task, Google lets you speak in Hindi or any other regional language and your phone will automatically convert your voice into digital text without installing any additional applications. Here’s our short comprehensive guide for getting you started.
Hindi speech recognition is nothing new. There are several free tools available for PC, however for Android, you can achieve this with few simple steps.
First of all, you need to make sure that you are using the latest version of Google app. To check that, go to the play store followed by “My apps and games” from the left drawer and there if you see Google app update pending, download it.
Step 1. Now head over to the Google app on your phone. Swipe in the drawer from the left and from there and hit “settings”.
Step 2. Next you’ll be greeted with a list of options to customize. You need to tap the “Voice” item and on top of that page, you’ll find “Languages”.
Step 3. Hitting the Languages setting will pop a long list of all the speeches you can speak in. Hindi and other Indian languages are present at the bottom.
Step 4. Select the languages you want to speak in and you’re done. Now it’s time to start dictating in your own language.
Step 5. To write using your voice anytime a textbox comes hit that little microphone button on your keyboard and start talking.
Just in case, you don’t have the microphone button, don’t worry as you can get it easily with some additional steps. Head over to your phone’s settings and then “Language and Input”. Click “Google Keyboard” and in that locate “preferences”. Turn on “Voice input key” and you’re all set.
However, if you’re using the Google Indic Keyboard, you’ll need to go into “keyboard” instead of “preferences and lastly, “show voice input button”.
That was all you need to do in order to start dictating in a regional language. Tell us if you’re stuck somewhere in the comments section down below.

(58)In 2020, 3 speakers will go on stage to deliver a TED talk and vie to win a $5,000,000 prize.
There’s a catch however. The speakers won’t be human. Instead, the X-Prize hopefuls will have to share a unique similarity; they will have to be AI.
“Good morning, Dave.”
The finalists will all have taken part in a newly announced X-Prize for advanced cognitive computing. The competition is the brainchild of founder Peter Diamandis, founder of the X-Prize Foundation, and was revealed at a recent TED talk. Diamandis, and IBM’s David Kenny, the head of IBM’s Watson, took to the stage to make the announcement.
The goal of the X-Prize competition is simple and somewhat broad in its remit to “demonstrate how humans can collaborate with powerful cognitive technologies to tackle some of the world’s grand challenges.”
The prize for the challenge comes from IBM, TED and the X Prize Foundation, who want to stimulate research on AI “to tackle some of the world’s grand challenges.” The winner in 2020 will be the individual or team that manages to construct an Artificial Intelligence that the judging panel thinks will “tackle some of the world’s grand challenges,” successfully. But what the challenge that AI can solve, Diamandis says, is entirely up to the developers themselves.
The winners of the X-Prize will be chosen by the TED audience after the final 3 competitors give their talks in 2020. On of the major goals of the challenge, according to Diamandis is to prove the potential for artificial intelligence to do good, not just evil. “The fact of the matter is, personally, I’m sick and tired of the dystopian conversation around artificial intelligence….Our belief is that artificial intelligence is one of the most important inventions the human race will ever create to take on humanity’s grand challenges. We want to demonstrate that to the world.”
The X-Prize foundation has been responsible for some of the more out-there research challenges both on and off the planet in recent years. It is responsible for being behind the X-Prize for the world’s first private space race to reach the moon.
It’s also running a $10 million competition that it hopes will produce a real life version of Star Trek’s medical tricorder that will be able to diagnose health issues in an instant.
Contestants in the latest AI X-Prize will also be given the opportunity to compete for interim prizes each year.
