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.
