How to Automatically Transcribe Zoom Meetings in Hindi, Tamil, and Bengali

🎯 Why Hindi, Tamil & Bengali Matter in Zoom Meetings

Hindi: Spoken by over 500 million people across northern and central India
Tamil: A primary language in Tamil Nadu and widely used in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia
Bengali: The second most spoken language in India and official language of West Bengal

For remote teams, universities, government departments, and customer-facing businesses—capturing accurate transcripts in these languages is essential for compliance, documentation, and knowledge sharing.
