What Makes Hearlog the Best Free Malayalam Transcription App
Every feature you need — completely free, forever.
Malayalam-to-English: transcript first, then a faithful translation
Hearlog translates Malayalam audio to English by transcribing the Malayalam accurately first, then translating that transcript. Because Malayalam is one of the most agglutinative Indian languages and uses heavy sandhi, getting the source transcript right is essential before translating.
Malayalam fuses words at their boundaries (sandhi) and stacks long suffix chains, so a reliable English translation depends on a reliable Malayalam transcript first. Hearlog transcribes the Malayalam from the audio with Google Gemini, then translates the finished transcript — a far better fit for lectures, interviews and Gulf voice messages than a phrase-by-phrase translator.
The Malayalam transcript and the English translation stay together in one note, so Kerala PSC aspirants, reporters and diaspora families can always check the original wording against the English.
Built for the Gulf NRI Malayalam community
A large share of the world's Malayalam speakers live and work in the Gulf — the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Hearlog transcribes Gulf-accented Malayalam and Manglish from the audio, then translates it to English, for family messages, business calls and healthcare conversations.
Diaspora Malayalam picks up English and Arabic loanwords and a distinct rhythm, and it is very often Manglish rather than pure Malayalam. Tools tuned only for Kerala-standard Malayalam mis-transcribe this; Hearlog transcribes what was actually said and then translates the whole transcript to English, so a voice note from Dubai or a clinic conversation in Muscat comes out readable in both languages.
Because the Malayalam transcript and the English translation are kept together, Gulf NRI families can share a message across generations and languages, and professionals keep an English record of a Malayalam call. Explore the Malayalam transcription page too, and translate to English or 50+ other languages in one click.

Frequently Asked Questions — Free Malayalam Transcription
Everything you need to know before you start
How do I translate Malayalam audio to English for free?
Record or upload your Malayalam audio in Hearlog, let it transcribe, then click Translate and choose English. The Malayalam 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 Gulf NRI Malayalam?
Yes. A large share of Malayalam speakers live in the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Hearlog transcribes diaspora speech — with its English and Arabic loanwords — from the audio, then translates it to clean English, ideal for family voice notes and Gulf business calls.
Can it handle Manglish (Malayalam-English mix)?
Yes. Manglish — mixing English words into Malayalam — is common in Kerala and the Gulf. Because Hearlog uses a multilingual model, it captures both languages in one transcript before translating, instead of dropping the English or forcing one script.
Does the Malayalam transcript stay with the English translation?
Yes. Hearlog keeps the full Malayalam transcript and its English translation in the same note, so you can check the original against the translation any time — useful for reporters, researchers and diaspora families.
Is it good for Kerala PSC and university study?
Yes. Kerala PSC aspirants and students record lectures and coaching in Malayalam, then get an English transcript plus an AI summary for revision. Long sessions are segmented and transcribed automatically before translation.
Can I use it for Gulf business and healthcare?
Yes. Malayalam-speaking professionals in the Gulf use it for client calls, clinic conversations and documentation — transcribe the Malayalam, translate to English, and export the record. Verify anything clinical with a qualified professional; this is a documentation aid, not medical advice.
Is there a time limit?
No. Long lectures, interviews, sermons and meetings are handled automatically with segmentation, then translated to English on demand — all on the free plan.
What else can I translate Malayalam to?
English plus 50+ other languages — any Malayalam transcript can be translated instantly, so one recording can serve an English audience and readers in other languages from the same note.
