Discussion

Rajan Chopra Dec 18, 2007:
are quite common in Hindi and in fact, they have become part and parcel of the language. The first and only point of adopting transliteration should be whether the concerned word conveys the sense in the target language.
Rajan Chopra Dec 18, 2007:
Sometimes, trying to find an Hindi equivalent for each and every word leads to confusion and ambiguity. For example, we have कंठभूषण, धूम्रदंडिका, लौहपथगामिनी for tie, cigarette and rail respectively but the English words in their transliterated forms
C.M. Rawal Dec 17, 2007:
रुचि जी, हिंदी में प्रयुक्त कार, ट्रैक्टर, गियर, लैंस, ओवरकोट, बल्ब, फ़्यूज़ आदि अंग्रेज़ी शब्द अब हिंदी शब्द माने जाते हैं. अंग्रेज़ी में भी कच्चा, पक्का जैसे हज़ारों हिंदी शब्द शामिल हो गए हैं. यह भाषाई आदान-प्रदान है. लिप्यंतरण सभी भाषाओं में होता है.
Ruchi Agarwal (asker) Dec 17, 2007:
I dont want to transliterate it. When we are using completely Hindi in a document, then I dont think that it will look good if I put translaiteration for a single word. The complete sentence is" This seminar is also available in japanese and chinese voiceover" So please suggest me accordingly. Thanks.

वॉयस ओवर

मेरे विचार से अंग्रेज़ी शब्दों से बचने के लिए ऐसे हिंदी शब्द नहीं गढ़े जाने चाहिए जिनका अर्थ किसी को समझ में न आए. या ऐसा न हो कि एक ही अंम्रेज़ी शब्द के लिए अलग-अलग लोग अलग-अलग हिंदी शब्दों का प्रयोग करने लग जाएं. Voice Over के लिए कोई हिंदी शब्द बनाते समय हमें यह भी सोचना चाहिए कि क्या चुना गया हिंदी शब्द अंग्रेज़ी शब्द के अन्य प्रयोगों (यथा Voice Over IP, Voice Over IP Protocol) के साथ चल पाएगा य नहीं. इसकी परिभाषा निम्नप्रकार है:

The term voice-over refers to a production technique where a disembodied voice is broadcast live or pre-recorded in radio, television, film, theater and/or presentation.[1] The voice-over may be spoken by someone who also appears on-screen in other segments (e.g. Famke Janssen/Jean Grey in X2) or it may be performed by a specialist voice actor. Voice-over is also commonly referred to as "off camera" commentary.

The term voice-over can also refer to the actual voice actor who performed the recording. The terms voice actor, narrator, voice artist, announcer are all similarly used.

Example sentence:

एनिमेशन फिल्मों, अंग्रेजी फिल्मों, कार्टून फिल्मों आदि में वॉयस ओवर या डबिंग की जरूरत ...

मसलन, वॉयस ओवर इंटरनेट (वीओआइपी) ऐसी तकनीक है जिससे लंबी दूरी की कॉल की दरें बेहद कम हो ...

स्वरबद्ध वर्णन /विवरण, वॉयस ओवर

Voice over is a narration by an offscreen announcer that provides backstory, or some other important story element, such as player objectives, or rules of weapon use or gameplay.

There is no harm in using its transliterated form either.

1.स्वरानुवाद 2.पार्श्व स्वर

The term "voice over" is more related with translation than merely with voice. This is spontaneous translation of voice. In this sense we can say स्वर(voice) + अनुवाद (translation)= स्वरानुवाद।
According to Shabdkosh.com, voice over is पार्श्व स्वर।
Please see
http://www.shabdkosh.com/en2hi/voice over

This is also true as voice over is spontaneous translation of original voice.

In my opinion, the first (स्वरानुवाद) is more appropriate for this term.

The word "spontaneous translation" may create controversy. I do not want to indicate "Interpretation". Voice over is voice translation of text- It may be live or pre recorded. But the translation must be in voice- not in writings.
