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.
Notta's own site describes its meeting-bot options as "a bot can join the call, or you record on your device"; 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 Notta may suit you better
Notta lists 58 languages (monolingual transcription) 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, Notta offers that as an option; hearlog does not.
Notta's own site lists Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Gujarati — 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).

Does a bot join my meetings with hearlog?
No. hearlog never joins a call. You record in the browser — in a classroom, meeting room or court corridor — or upload a recording you already have. That also makes it work for in-person conversations and phone calls.
Can I move my old Notta recordings to hearlog?
If you have the audio files, yes: upload them to hearlog (MP3, M4A, WAV and similar audio). Free files can be up to 100 minutes each; Pro takes files up to 2 hours and up to 10 at once.
