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

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.
Works in the room, not just online: you record a class, hearing or phone call, or upload a recording — hearlog never needs to join a call.
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".
