Hindi lectures and multilingual meetings often weave English names or technical terms into Devanagari speech. Choose hi for the dominant audio, decide how borrowed terms and numbers should appear for the audience, and review honorifics, code-switch points, and names instead of applying one automatic transliteration rule.

What to expect from Hindi audio
Hindi recordings often include English names or technical terms, so the final script and transliteration policy should follow the audience rather than an automatic assumption. The practical review targets are Devanagari spelling, Hindi–English code-switching, names, honorifics, and numbers. The hi hint expects Hindi speech but does not force every borrowed English term into Devanagari.
Review the details that carry meaning
Code-switching, names, honorifics, and number forms require an explicit editorial convention. Use word-level playback for Devanagari spelling, Hindi–English code-switching, names, honorifics, and numbers; a correction is accepted only when the surrounding clause and project convention support it.
