Bangla vs Bengali: why Bangladesh users need their own page
Bangla and Bengali are the same language (বাংলা), but people in Bangladesh search for "bangla" while the English world says "Bengali". hearlog transcribes both, with explicit support for Dhaka and wider Bangladesh speech, not only the Kolkata standard.
Bangla is the national language of Bangladesh and the most-spoken language of West Bengal — together an estimated 270M+ speakers, making it one of the most spoken languages on earth. Yet most transcription tools tune only for the Kolkata standard, so Dhaka pronunciation, Chittagong and Sylheti features, and Bangladesh vocabulary come out wrong.
Because hearlog transcribes directly from the audio with Google Gemini, it writes what was actually said. A voice note from Dhaka, a sermon, a news clip or a university lecture transcribes cleanly in বাংলা, and you can immediately summarise it or translate it to English.
Benglish and Bangla YouTube transcripts
hearlog handles Benglish — Bangla mixed with English — and can transcribe the audio from Bangla YouTube videos, lectures and interviews into searchable text with an AI summary and one-click English translation.
Urban Bangla, like other South Asian languages, freely mixes in English ("presentation ta ready ache", "meeting ta postpone korte hobe"). A single-language transcriber breaks on this; hearlog keeps both languages in one readable transcript. For creators and researchers, that means Bangla YouTube content — news, tech, education — becomes captions, articles and quotes without manual typing.
The transcript, the AI summary and the English translation all live together in one saved note, so a Dhaka journalist can quote the original বাংলা and publish the English, and a student can revise from either.

Everything you need to know before you start

What is the difference between Bangla and Bengali here?
