heard her say & heard she says

[kayoox]

Are these meaning the same things?

A. I have heard her say, "I hate my job."

B. I have heard she says, "I hate my job."

Please let me know.

They mean the same thing.
I (have) heard her say,"I hate my job." (one clause sentence + quotation)
I (have) heard her saying,"I hate my job." (one clause sentence + quotation)
I have heard (that) she says,"I hate my job." (Main clause + subordinate clause + quotation).

There's a slight difference in what information is given, in my opinion.

I (have) heard her say/saying, 'I hate my job.' implies that I personally heard her say/saying so, whereas I have heard that she says, 'I hate my job.' doesn't - I may, or may not, have been present when she was saying that thing, I might've only been told about what she was saying.

Hello, justinwschang, engee30 and Soup.
Thank you very much for your comments.
I became able to clearly understand the difference between them and I realized my mistakes in my writing.

See correction.

Just one more voice:
I heard she says - this sounds like she says this often. You have never heard it yourself, but she says it often enough that it's common knowledge she says this. It's a habitual action for her.
