Best AI video makers for Hindi and other Indian languages in 2026

What do you need the Indian-language video for?

An AI video in Hindi or another Indian language can mean five different jobs, and each tool here does one or two of them well. Decide which you have before you compare prices.

• Dub a video you already made into Hindi, Tamil or Telugu, with or without lip sync: HeyGen, Sarvam, ElevenLabs, Kapwing.
• A presenter on screen speaking your script in Hindi: HeyGen, Synthesia.
• Stock-footage videos with a Hindi voice-over, from a script or a blog post: Fliki, InVideo AI.
• A voice-over only, to lay over your own slides or footage: ElevenLabs, Murf, Sarvam.
• A designed explainer with the voice-over and the on-screen text in Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali or Tamil: Voom.

The audience is large. The census of 2011 counted 52.83 crore people whose mother tongue falls under Hindi, 43.63% of the population, according to the Registrar General and Census Commissioner. The IAMAI and Kantar report Internet in India 2024 found 870 million Indians accessed the internet in Indic languages in 2024, 98% of internet users, and 57% of urban users said they prefer Indic-language content.

Which tool speaks which Indian language?

This is the table most buyers’ guides skip. We read each tool’s own language list on 3 November 2026 for ten major Indian languages. A tick means the tool lists that language for voice-over from a script; the notes under the table cover dubbing, which some tools support more widely.

Tool	Of 10	Hindi	Bengali	Marathi	Telugu	Tamil	Gujarati	Kannada	Malayalam	Punjabi	Odia
Sarvam (Bulbul v4)	10	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓

Notes from the same pages:

• Dubbing reaches further. HeyGen’s video translation lists all ten, Punjabi and Odia included. Kapwing’s dubbing lists all ten too. ElevenLabs’ newest dubbing engine leaves out Bengali and Odia, which its older Dubbing Studio still covers. Synthesia’s dubbing has no Odia.
• ElevenLabs depends on the model. Its v3 and v4 models list all ten; the older Multilingual v2 and Flash v2.5 list only Hindi and Tamil.
• InVideo AI’s eleven Indian voices come from Sarvam’s Bulbul model, according to InVideo’s own blog; its translator page names only Hindi and Urdu.
• Canva does not publish its own AI voice’s languages; Indian voices come through third-party apps such as “Indian Voiceover”. Its auto-captions list Hindi, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil and Urdu, and its Translate feature covers all ten for text.
• Voom also offers English (India), and sets on-screen text and captions in the language’s own script: Devanagari, Gujarati, Bengali or Tamil.

The ten tools compared

Voom publishes this guide, and Voom is one of the ten tools. Prices come from each tool’s own pricing page on 3 November 2026. Most of these sites showed US dollars to an Indian visitor; Sarvam shows rupees only, and Canva and Fliki showed Indian prices in rupees, so we give those as shown.

Tool	What it makes	Starts from	Entry paid plan	Free way to start	Best for
HeyGen	Presenter videos and lip-synced translations	A script, or a video to translate	Creator: $29 a month, $24 billed yearly	3 videos a month up to 1 minute, watermark	Lip-synced dubs and presenters in all ten languages

Bottom line: if your video exists already, dub it with HeyGen, Sarvam or Kapwing. If you need a face, HeyGen or Synthesia. If you need the widest language list for voice-over, Sarvam, ElevenLabs or Fliki. If you need a designed explainer whose screen text is in Devanagari, Gujarati, Bengali or Tamil script too, Voom.

The ten tools, one by one

HeyGen

HeyGen makes presenter videos from a script and translates existing videos with lip sync. Its video translation list, updated in August 2026, covers all ten languages here plus Urdu and English (India); its list of voices for scripted presenter videos leaves out Punjabi and Odia. Creator costs $29 a month, or $24 billed yearly, with 600 credits, 1080p export and your own custom avatar.

Falls short: the free plan makes 3 watermarked videos a month of up to 1 minute. Editing and proofreading a translated script is listed from the Pro plan ($49 a month). HeyGen’s pages do not say how it sets Indian scripts on screen. Our HeyGen alternative guide covers when a presenter is the wrong format.

Synthesia

Synthesia is built for presenter-led training and explainers. Its translation list covers Hindi and eight more of the ten languages (not Odia), and its self-serve dubbing adds Assamese. Starter costs $19 a month (the first month $9), or $14 a month billed yearly, for about 12 minutes of video and 16 of dubbing a month.

Falls short: the free plan is watermarked and cannot download videos, only share links. Lip sync is not on the free plan and uses twice the credits. One-click translation into 140+ languages is listed under Enterprise. See our Synthesia alternative.

ElevenLabs

ElevenLabs makes the voice: text to speech, voice clones and dubbing. Its v3 and v4 models list all ten languages here, and its India page claims 12 Indian languages and accents. Starter costs $6 a month (the first month $1), or $5 billed yearly, for about 30 minutes of speech and a commercial licence.

Falls short: it gives you an audio track or a dub, not a video, so you still edit the pictures elsewhere. Dubbing is credit-heavy: 2,000 to 10,000 credits a minute against Starter’s 30,000. The free plan has no commercial licence.

Sarvam

Sarvam is an Indian AI company whose Bulbul text-to-speech model speaks ten Indian languages and English, Odia included, with 83 voices across them, according to its launch post. Content Studio, its web app, dubs videos into those languages plus Assamese and handles code-mixed speech such as Hindi with English. It bills in rupees: ₹100 of free credits, ₹40 a minute of dubbing through the API, and the first 30 minutes of dubbing free in Content Studio.

Falls short: you bring the video; Sarvam does not make pictures. Lip sync is for “select projects” on request, and Content Studio’s price per minute after the free 30 is not on its product page.

Murf

Murf is a voice-over studio: type a script, pick a Hindi or regional voice, and line it up against your own video or images on a timeline. Its language lists cover nine of the ten here (not Odia). Creator costs $29 a month, or $19 billed yearly, for 2 hours of voice a month with commercial rights.

Falls short: the free plan cannot download anything and carries no commercial rights. Murf does not generate footage or presenters, so the video is still yours to make.

InVideo AI

InVideo AI turns a prompt or a script into a finished video from stock footage and generated clips, with a voice-over and a timeline to edit. Its blog says it offers Sarvam’s Bulbul voices in eleven Indian languages. Basic costs $9 a month per seat for 190 credits.

Falls short: the eleven-language claim is on a blog post, while its translator page names only Hindi and Urdu, so test your language first. Its pricing page shows two different yearly prices for Basic, and unused credits do not roll over.

Kapwing

Kapwing is an online editor that subtitles, translates and dubs a video you upload. Its dubbing covers all ten languages, with lip sync on paid plans; its text-to-speech list misses Telugu, Malayalam and Odia. Pro costs $24 a month, or $16 billed yearly, with up to 50 minutes of dubbing a month.

Falls short: free exports are watermarked, 720p and up to 4 minutes long. Voice cloning is not available for most Indian languages, and the interface is English only.

Canva

Canva lets you assemble a video from templates and add Indian-language text, translation and captions. In India, Pro costs ₹500 a month or ₹4,000 a year, and Pro Lite ₹199 a month.

Falls short: Canva does not publish which Indian languages its own AI voice speaks, and its auto-captions miss Bengali, Gujarati, Telugu, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia. You design every scene yourself.

Fliki

Fliki turns an idea, a script, a blog post or slides into a stock-footage video with a voice-over. It lists 92 Indian voices across twelve Indian languages, drawn from four voice providers, and can translate a video to or from Hindi. In India, Basic costs ₹799 a month per user, or ₹599.25 billed yearly, with 1080p export and videos of up to 5 minutes.

Falls short: the free plan is 720p, watermarked and 3 credits a month. Quality varies between its voice providers, and Fliki itself advises switching voices line by line to get names and numbers right. See Voom vs Fliki.

Voom

Voom makes designed motion graphics explainers and launch films. Write the prompt in English or in the target language and name the language, and Voom writes the script in that language, records the voice-over, and sets the captions and on-screen text in its own script with fonts that cover it. A 45-second explainer uses 15 credits, about $0.78 on Pro, in any language.

Falls short: Voom speaks only four Indian languages: Hindi, Gujarati, Bengali and Tamil, plus English (India). Marathi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Punjabi and Odia are not offered, and the Create page says so rather than making the film in another language. It does not dub an existing video, and it has no presenters.

How do you get a Hindi AI video right?

The tool matters less than the script you give it. These habits hold for every tool above.

1. Write numbers the Indian way. ₹1,50,000 rather than 150,000, so the voice reads lakh and crore.
2. Use the words your viewers use. Plain Hindi with the English terms people say (app, loan, UPI, credit score) sounds natural; formal Sanskritised words sound like a textbook.
3. Name local things. Rupees, Indian banks and apps, local units. Put them in the script the way you want them spoken.
4. Check the script on screen. Matras and conjuncts in Devanagari break in fonts that do not cover them. Read every caption and title in the finished video.
5. Have a native speaker watch it once. Names, brand terms and regional words are where AI voices still slip.

For script structure, see our explainer video script template.

Common mistakes with Indian-language AI videos

• Trusting a “100+ languages” badge. Check the language list for yours: Odia and Punjabi are missing from several tools that claim over a hundred.
• Translating when you should write. A translated English script keeps English word order. Tools that write the script in the language, or a human rewrite, sound better.
• Forgetting captions. Many viewers watch on mute. Make sure captions come out in the language’s own script, not transliterated.
• Mixing currencies. Some sites show Indian visitors rupee prices and others US dollars; compare like with like before you decide.
• Publishing without a listen. Every tool mispronounces something. Watch the full video before it goes out.

How we chose and checked these tools

We picked the tools Indian creators and buyers’ guides name for Hindi and regional-language video, plus Sarvam, the Indian company whose voices InVideo AI also uses. Every language list, price and limit comes from the tool’s own pricing page, help centre or docs, read on 3 November 2026 from India and listed under Sources. Where a tool’s own pages disagree, we say so.

We did not make a video on every tool, so this guide reports what each one lists, not how its Hindi sounded to us. Voom is our product, and it wins one narrow job here: a designed explainer in four Indian languages. If a list or price has changed, tell us through the contact page and we will correct it.

Making a Hindi explainer with Voom

The film below is a 45-second Hindi explainer on how a credit score works, made with Voom from an English prompt that asked for Hindi. It opens: “पहली बार लोन लेने जा रहे हैं? तो अपना क्रेडिट स्कोर समझ लीजिए।” (Taking a loan for the first time? Then understand your credit score first.)

1. Write the brief in English or Hindi, and say “in Hindi” (or Gujarati, Bengali or Tamil).
2. Put the facts and numbers in the prompt, the way you want them said.
3. Choose the size, the length and one of 20 voices; every voice speaks every language Voom offers.
4. Watch the film with a native speaker, then make the next language as a variation.
