Lesson introductions
Framing passages before a lesson, the use our note names. One sentence per line, one caption per sentence.
Ananya, Hindi lesson introductions, with word-timed captions
Our note gives Ananya lesson introductions, and the published list gives her the standard Hindi record: a C grade, B target quality, 10 to 100 minutes of training audio, from a Hindi set that totals one to ten hours across four voices. Unlike the Mandarin and Japanese voices, she returns word-level timing, so captions can follow each word.

Hear it
Three samples, three registers
- Listen for whether a lesson voice keeps an even shape on a descriptive line.
- Listen for तीन घंटे and दस सेकंड, the numbers a lesson would drill.
- Listen for the aside after the comma, and whether the register warms for it.
On the record
The Hindi record, and what word timing adds
All four Hindi voices carry the same line on the list: C, target B, tens of minutes. The grade is about data, not delivery. What sets the Hindi set apart from the other non-English voices is timing: the engine reports where each word starts, so subtitles can highlight word by word.
Lesson introductions are short framing passages before the content, a use where an even opening and a clean caption matter more than range. Keep each sentence on its own line and each becomes one cue.
Length the engine likes. The published guidance puts the sweet spot at roughly 100 to 200 tokens, a few sentences; very short lines are the weak spot and very long ones can rush.

Course intros with captions
Word-level SRT lets a learner follow each word as it is read; slow the speed to half for shadowing.

FAQ
Questions about Ananya
Do Hindi captions follow each word?
Yes. Hindi voices return word-level timing, so the SRT and WebVTT can highlight word by word, unlike the sentence-level cues for Mandarin and Japanese.
How many credits does a Hindi script use?
Billing counts UTF-8 bytes and Devanagari characters are three bytes each, so one credit carries about 3,300 characters. The cost is shown before you generate.
What does the C grade mean here?
Ten to a hundred minutes of training audio at B target quality. It is the same line for all four Hindi voices and measures data, not sound.
Can I slow Ananya down for learners?
Yes, the speed slider goes down to half speed with the pitch unchanged, and the captions stay aligned.
