Qualitative Interview Transcription for Researchers
Qualitative research lives or dies by what your participants actually said. Hearlog turns 90-minute interviews and noisy focus groups into clean, speaker-labeled transcripts you can code in NVivo, Atlas.ti, or just a good spreadsheet — without paying per minute.
Common Problems, Solved
Three frustrations Hearlog fixes the day you start using it.

Focus groups with 6+ voices make traditional transcription tools collapse.
Speaker diarization handles multi-participant audio. Rename voices once and the entire transcript labels correctly.
Multilingual fieldwork means juggling tools for English, Hindi, Tamil, and more.
One workflow for 14 Indian languages and 50+ world languages. Translate excerpts into English for your final report.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is participant data safe?
Yes. Recordings and transcripts are stored with Encryption at Rest (AES-256). Audio is never used for AI training, and you can delete sessions at any time to honor ethics approval.
How well does it handle accents and code-switching?
Hearlog handles accented English and Indian-language code-switching (Hinglish, Tanglish) better than most tools, because it routes through a multilingual model.
Can I export transcripts into NVivo or Atlas.ti?
Yes. Export to Word or plain text, then import into your CAQDAS tool. Timestamps and speaker labels are preserved.
Do you support IRB / ethics committee data-handling needs?
Hearlog gives you full control — delete recordings and transcripts on demand, no third-party training on your data, and encryption at rest by default.
