How text translation works
Text translation turns writing in one language into writing in another. hearlog goes one step further: paste any text and it produces an AI summary first, then translates the whole thing into any of 50+ languages — so you get both the meaning and the key points, saved together.
That extra step matters most for exactly the text Indians deal with daily. A three-paragraph WhatsApp message from a parent, a two-page government circular, a dense legal clause — a plain translation gives you the words but still leaves you to work out what is being asked. A summary alongside the translation tells you the point and any deadline in a line or two.
It handles the way India actually writes, too — including Hinglish and other code-mixed text, where Hindi and English sit in the same sentence. You can paste text in any script (Devanagari, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali) and translate out to English, or the other way around.
hearlog is built by USD Vision AI and powered by Google Gemini AI. The free plan covers 5,000 characters per translation; hearlog Pro raises that to 50,000 for long documents and research papers.

Text translation — frequently asked questions
Can I translate Hindi text to English free?
Yes. Paste up to 5,000 characters of Hindi text and hearlog translates it to English instantly. You also get an AI summary in 5 styles — Key Points, Detailed, Concise, Action Items and Q&A. No signup needed to try. Free plan includes 5,000 characters per translation.
Which Indian languages does it support?
hearlog supports Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, Odia, Gujarati, Punjabi, Hinglish and more — 18+ Indian languages in total, plus 40+ world languages. Paste text in any Indian language and translate to English or any other supported language.
Can I translate WhatsApp messages?
Yes. Copy the WhatsApp message text, paste it into hearlog and get an instant translation plus AI summary. This works for family messages in Hindi or regional languages, business messages in Hinglish, and any other language your contacts write in. Free, no account needed.
What is the character limit?
The free plan supports up to 5,000 characters per translation — enough for most WhatsApp messages, emails and short documents. hearlog Pro at ₹299 per month or $19 per month increases the limit to 50,000 characters, covering long legal documents, research papers and full articles.
Can I get a summary of the translated text?
Yes. After pasting text, hearlog generates an AI summary automatically before you even ask for a translation. Choose Key Points for a quick overview, Detailed for comprehensive notes, or Concise for a brief recap. The summary and translation are saved together in one note.
How is this different from Google Translate?
Google Translate translates text but gives no summary or context. hearlog translates AND summarises — giving you the meaning and the key points together. You can also save the result as a note, revisit it later, and combine it with audio transcription in the same workflow.
Can I save the translation as a note?
Yes. After translating, click Save Note and the original text, translation and AI summary are saved together in your hearlog account. Access them anytime, search across all your notes, or use Chat with recordings to ask questions about saved content. Pro feature.
Does it work for legal documents and government notices?
Yes. Paste the text from a legal document, government circular or official notice and get a plain-language summary plus translation. Always verify important legal content against the original document. hearlog provides a translation aid, not a certified legal translation service.
