Talkie is known for characters you can talk to by voice. If you want that in Hindi or Hinglish, with characters who sound Indian, Desi Avtar is worth a look — with one thing made clear from the start: its voice calls run in the Android app, while the website is for text chat and listening to voice samples.
Explore characters · How voice calls work
In the Android app you can phone a character and hold a spoken conversation in Hindi or Hinglish — or in a regional language, if the character speaks one. Calls use minute packs bought in rupees; your balance is shown in minutes and there are no free minutes. The full explanation is on the AI voice call in Hindi page.
On the website you cannot place a call, but many characters have a short recorded voice sample you can play for free on the Calling screen. It is a good way to hear who you would be talking to before installing the app.
Not every character is on the calling roster. Friends and dost characters, the bhabhi and aunty characters, the regional-language set and the LGBTQ+ companions can be called. Family, teacher and historical characters are text-only.
Calls are short-turn, spoken conversations — characters answer in a sentence or a few words, the way people do on the phone — rather than long written replies read aloud.
Talkie has a very wide range of characters. Desi Avtar is narrower on purpose: every character is Indian, hand-written, and talks the way people do in a Hindi or Hinglish chat. Browse them on the Indian AI characters directory, or read how AI character chat works if you are comparing platforms generally.
Text chat works in every language the characters use — Devanagari Hindi, Roman Hinglish or English — with no setting to change. The Hindi AI chat page lists good characters to start a Hindi conversation with.
