What is Chat with recordings?
Chat with recordings is a hearlog Pro feature that lets you ask plain-language questions across all your saved audio notes and get an instant answer with the source timestamp — semantic search over your own recordings, not just keyword matching.
Every meeting, lecture, consultation and interview you save becomes part of one queryable library. Powered by Google Gemini AI, hearlog reads your transcripts and answers questions by meaning — so "what were the action items?" surfaces the commitments even when nobody used those exact words. It works across languages, handles code-switching like Hinglish, and always shows the source passage so you can verify against the original audio.

Chat with recordings — frequently asked questions
What is "Chat with recordings" on hearlog?
Chat with recordings is a Pro feature that lets you ask plain-language questions about your saved notes — "what did we decide about the vendor contract?" — and get an instant answer with the source timestamp. It searches across all your saved recordings, not just one, making your entire note library queryable.
Does it search across all my recordings or just one at a time?
It searches across all your saved recordings simultaneously. Ask "what did the client say about the property boundary?" and hearlog finds the relevant passage across every note in your account — whether from last week or six months ago — and returns it with the recording date and timestamp.
What languages can I ask questions in?
You can ask questions in English or Hindi. hearlog understands both languages for the query, regardless of what language the original recording was in. Ask in English about a Telugu recording, or ask in Hindi about an English meeting, and get the correct answer.
Is Chat with recordings available on the free plan?
No. Chat with recordings is a Pro feature. The free plan includes transcription, AI summaries, translation and PDF export — 200 minutes per month at no cost. Pro at ₹299 per month adds Chat with recordings, unlimited transcription, batch upload and Push to Talk.
How accurate are the answers?
Answers are drawn directly from your transcript text — hearlog does not paraphrase or infer beyond what was said. The source passage and timestamp are always shown so you can verify against the original recording. Accuracy depends on transcription quality, which is high for clear audio in supported languages.
Can it find things from recordings made months ago?
Yes. All saved notes are searchable regardless of when they were recorded. There is no time limit on search history. As long as the recording is saved in your account, Chat with recordings can find and quote from it — useful for legal, medical and project management contexts.
How is this different from searching the transcript with Ctrl+F?
Ctrl+F matches exact keywords. Chat with recordings understands meaning — ask "what were the action items?" and it finds commitments even if those words were never said. It also searches across all recordings simultaneously, while Ctrl+F works on one open document at a time.
What does hearlog Pro cost?
hearlog Pro costs ₹299 per month or ₹2,990 per year, saving two months. A lifetime plan is available at ₹4,999. International pricing is $19 per month or $190 per year. All Pro plans include Chat with recordings, unlimited transcription, batch upload and Push to Talk. Cancel anytime.
