Voice message
Thori der ho rahi hai, meeting mere baghair shuru kar lena — main 10 minute mein pahunch raha hoon.
Read, don’t replay
Read them without playing them
In a meeting, on a train, somewhere quiet? Share the voice note and read it. No earphones, no scrubbing back and forth through a two-minute ramble.
“Running late — start the meeting without me, I’ll be there in ten minutes.”
Your script
Urdu and Hindi, in the letters you read
Speak the language but read Latin letters more easily? Get Urdu, Hindi, Punjabi, Arabic, Bengali or Nepali in Roman script, and switch back to the original any time.
Thori der ho rahi hai, meeting mere baghair shuru kar lena.
تھوڑی دیر ہو رہی ہے، میٹنگ میرے بغیر شروع کر لینا۔
