    Your Hindi-English classes and meetings as notes you can search and ask — hearlog vs Fathom

    Record a Hindi-English class or meeting free and get notes the same evening — 300 minutes a month. Below, compared fact by fact with sources, checked on 15 Oct 2026.

    If you speak Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali or another Indian language in your classes, meetings or calls, the question is simple: does the tool write it down as it was said — and can you find it again later? hearlog is built for both.

    Below: what Fathom's own website said about its free plan, prices and languages on 15 Oct 2026 (sources at the bottom), next to hearlog's. Then where each one fits better.

    Where hearlog is different

    Indian languages first. Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and more, and any note translated into 50+ languages.

    Hindi-English mixing written the way people actually speak it — "kal ka lecture" stays as said, not forced into one language.

    Fathom's own site describes its meeting-bot options as "a bot that joins, or bot-free capture (bot-free in beta)"; hearlog never joins a call — you record in the room or upload, which also works for in-person classes, hearings and phone calls.

    One question across a folder of recordings (Pro), with the recording each answer came from.

    Priced in rupees: free gives 300 minutes a month; Pro is ₹299/month or ₹2,990/year and adds one question across a folder, 2-hour files, 10 files at once and 1,200 minutes a month.

    Example: a term of lectures, one question

    A law student keeps five recorded polity classes in a "Polity" folder. Before the test she asks the folder (Pro): "What did sir say about Article 21, and in which class?"

    Example answer: "Article 21 came up twice — the right to life and personal liberty, with Maneka Gandhi as the key case (Source: Polity lecture 4), and the right to privacy after Puttaswamy (Source: Polity lecture 7)." Then she taps "Make 20 practice questions".

    Where Fathom may suit you better

    If you want a bot to join and record your online calls, Fathom offers that as an option; hearlog does not.

    How much does hearlog cost compared with Fathom?

    hearlog's free plan gives 300 minutes a month; Pro is ₹299/month or ₹2,990/year in India ($6.99 / $49 elsewhere). Fathom's cheapest paid plan on its pricing page on 15 Oct 2026: Team: $15 or $19 per user/month, 2-user minimum (monthly / annual toggle).

    Does a bot join my meetings with hearlog?

    No. hearlog never joins a call. You record in the browser — in a classroom, meeting room or court corridor — or upload a recording you already have. That also makes it work for in-person conversations and phone calls.

    Can I move my old Fathom recordings to hearlog?

    If you have the audio files, yes: upload them to hearlog (MP3, M4A, WAV and similar audio). Free files can be up to 100 minutes each; Pro takes files up to 2 hours and up to 10 at once.
