Bhashini: India's AI tool making digital services accessible in every language

Technology Dec 10, 2025

Struggling to use online services because everything's in English? India's new AI platform, Bhashini, is here to help.
Built under the Digital India initiative, Bhashini uses speech recognition and text-to-speech tech to support 22 official languages—so more people can access things like banking and healthcare in their own language.

How Bhashini is changing the game

Bhashini isn't just about convenience—it's breaking down barriers for millions.
It helps local governments by transcribing panchayat meetings (over 90,000 so far!), translating parliamentary sessions, and digitizing old records.
By making government websites and services multilingual, Bhashini is making public info more transparent and easier for everyone to use.
