Voice to Text

Can't Play It Right Now? Read It Instead.

Forward the voice message to @vustScribeBot — the one from an open office, a language you read faster than you hear, or a stack of them after a day offline — and get it back as text you can scan in seconds. Same chat, no headphones, no app to open.

Honest scope

For the voice note itself — not a meeting, not a whole call

This page is about the single voice message or video note sitting in your chat that you don't have a good moment to listen to. It's the same Scribe engine as everywhere else on this site — a forwarded file in, a transcript out — just aimed at the one-off voice note rather than a long recording or a scheduled meeting.

Works on messages forwarded from any chat, not only ones you recorded yourself.
Specimens

See the difference

Real voice-note moments, and what comes back instead of pressing play.

A 2-minute voice note in an open-plan office

Before

A friend sends a 2-minute voice message explaining where to meet later. You're at your desk with people around and no headphones — playing it out loud isn't an option, and typing 'can you just text me' feels rude.

After

Forward the voice note to @vustScribeBot. A transcript comes back you can read silently at your desk — under 5 minutes, so it's free, no signup, no charge.

A voice reply you got back in a language you read better than you hear

Before

Someone replies to your message with a 4-minute voice note instead of text, spoken quickly in a language you're still learning — you catch maybe half of it on the first listen.

After

Forward it to Scribe instead of replaying it three times. The transcript comes back in the language it was spoken, so you can read at your own pace — free, under the 5-minute cap.

A stack of voice notes after being offline all day

Before

You open Telegram after a flight to five different voice messages from three chats, totaling twenty minutes you don't have time to sit through one by one.

After

Forward each one to Scribe as you scroll. Short ones are free (3/day); anything landing in the 5-20 minute range is paid per file, with the exact price shown before you confirm. You end up with five readable transcripts instead of five things to listen to later.

How it works01–03

From voice note to text

  1. 01

    Forward the voice message

    Works on messages forwarded from any chat, not only ones you recorded yourself — plus video notes.

  2. 02

    Scribe transcribes and summarizes

    Professional-grade speech recognition produces the transcript; an AI pass adds a summary and action items, in the recording's own language.

  3. 03

    Read instead of listening

    Short transcripts appear inline in the chat; longer ones arrive as a downloadable .txt file.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I forward a voice message someone else sent me?

Yes — that's the exact use case. Forward the voice message from any chat directly to @vustScribeBot and it transcribes it as if you'd sent it yourself. You don't need to be the original recorder.

Will it work if the voice message isn't in English?

Yes. Scribe transcribes in whatever language the voice message was recorded in — it doesn't force a translation or assume English. The summary and action items come back in that same language.

How fast is a voice message to text, roughly?

Processing runs in the background as soon as you send the file; short voice notes typically come back in well under a minute. There's no queue to wait in and no dashboard to refresh.

What if the voice note is longer than 5 minutes?

Clips from 5 to 20 minutes move to the paid tier — the exact per-file price is shown before you confirm. Anything past 20 minutes is rejected upfront with no charge — Scribe won't attempt a partial transcript on a file it can't fully process.

Does it work on video notes too, not just voice messages?

Yes — Telegram's round video-note bubbles are handled the same way as voice messages: audio in, transcript and summary out. Audio files in mp3/m4a/wav/ogg work as well.

What comes back besides the plain transcript?

A short summary and a list of action items ride along with every transcript, so a rambling voice note turns into something scannable instead of just a wall of text.
