Where hearlog is different
Hindi-English mixing written the way people actually speak it — "kal ka lecture" stays as said, not forced into one language.
No bot in your meetings. Fireflies.ai's own site says its notetaker joins online calls; hearlog never joins a call — you record in the room or upload, which also works for in-person classes, hearings and phone calls.
One question across a folder of recordings (Pro), with the recording each answer came from.
Priced in rupees: free gives 300 minutes a month; Pro is ₹299/month or ₹2,990/year and adds one question across a folder, 2-hour files, 10 files at once and unlimited transcription (fair use).
Example: a term of lectures, one question
A law student keeps five recorded polity classes in a "Polity" folder. Before the test she asks the folder (Pro): "What did sir say about Article 21, and in which class?"
Example answer: "Article 21 came up twice — the right to life and personal liberty, with Maneka Gandhi as the key case (Source: Polity lecture 4), and the right to privacy after Puttaswamy (Source: Polity lecture 7)." Then she taps "Make 20 practice questions".

Where Fireflies.ai may suit you better
Fireflies.ai lists 100+ languages on its own site. If you need a language outside hearlog's 50+, check their list.
If you want a bot to join and record your online calls, Fireflies.ai offers that; hearlog does not.
Fireflies.ai's own site lists Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati and Punjabi — so for a single Indian language, both can transcribe it. Choose hearlog for Hindi-English mixing written as spoken, no bot in your calls, in-person recordings, and one question across a folder (Pro).
