What Makes Hearlog the Best Free Bengali Transcription App
Every feature you need — completely free, forever.
Bengali-to-English across West Bengal and Bangladesh
Hearlog translates Bengali audio to English by transcribing the Bengali first — Kolkata West Bengal or Dhaka Bangladesh — then translating that transcript. Bengali spans two countries with real dialect differences, so an accurate source transcript is the foundation of a good English translation.
Standard Kolkata Bengali and Dhaka Bangla differ in pronunciation, vocabulary and everyday idiom, and Sylheti differs again. A phrase translator built for short exchanges cannot handle a lecture, interview or meeting across these varieties. Hearlog transcribes the spoken Bengali from the audio with Google Gemini — including Benglish — and then translates the finished transcript to English, so meaning survives both steps.
The Bengali transcript and the English translation are saved together in one note, so a Kolkata researcher can cite the original, a Dhaka reporter can publish the English, and a student can revise from either. For the Bangladesh-specific angle, see the Bangla transcription page; for West Bengal, the Bengali page.

Frequently Asked Questions — Free Bengali Transcription
Everything you need to know before you start
How do I translate Bengali audio to English for free?
Record or upload your Bengali audio in Hearlog, let it transcribe, then click Translate and choose English. The Bengali transcript and the English translation are saved together in one note — free, no credit card and 200 minutes free per month.
Does it work for both West Bengal and Bangladesh Bengali?
Yes. Bengali (বাংলা) is spoken in West Bengal and Bangladesh with real differences in pronunciation and vocabulary. Because Hearlog transcribes from the audio, it handles both Kolkata Bengali and Dhaka Bangla — plus Sylheti and Chittagong speech — before translating to English.
Can it handle Benglish (Bengali-English mix)?
Yes. Urban Bengali mixes in English constantly. Hearlog uses a multilingual model, so it captures both languages in one transcript and then translates the whole thing to clean English, instead of dropping the English words.
Does the Bengali transcript stay with the English translation?
Yes. Hearlog keeps the full Bengali transcript and its English translation in the same note, so a researcher can quote the original and a reader can study the English side by side any time.
Is it useful for academic and research work?
Yes. Kolkata university researchers and students use it to transcribe Bengali interviews, lectures and fieldwork, then translate to English for analysis and publication. You also get an AI summary of each recording, free.
How is this different from certified Bengali transcription?
Certified transcription is a paid human service with a legal accuracy attestation for court or immigration use. Hearlog is fast, free AI transcription by Google Gemini — ideal for research, media and business, but not a certified legal document.
Is there a time limit on Bengali audio?
No. Long lectures, interviews and meetings are segmented and transcribed automatically, then translated to English on demand — all on the free plan.
What other languages can I translate Bengali to?
English plus 50+ others — any Bengali transcript can be translated instantly, so one recording can serve an English-first audience and readers in other languages from the same note.
