Questions
Is it really free?
Yes, with no sign-up: one voice note up to 3 minutes long, 3 times a day. To keep it free for everyone there is also a daily limit for all visitors; if it is reached, the tool is back the next day. Sign up free for files up to 100 minutes.
How do I get the voice note file?
On Android, long-press the voice note → Share → save it to Files. On a computer, open WhatsApp Web, open the message menu → Download. The file ends in .opus or .ogg.
Which languages does it understand?
Every major Indian language — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi and more — plus 50+ world languages. Mixed speech such as Hinglish is written the way it was spoken. Powered by Google Gemini. Check names and numbers before you share the text.
Is my audio stored?
The free tool sends the audio to be transcribed and returns the text; it does not save the audio or the text to an account. Inside hearlog, notes are stored encrypted at rest and each account can read only its own notes.
