Telegram voice messages to text

Forward a voice message to the bot @voicy and it replies with the text. No Telegram Premium needed: the bot works in any Telegram app on a phone or a computer.

Open the bot @voicy Transcribe on the site

How it works

Open the bot @voicy and tap «Start».
Forward it a voice message from any chat or send an audio file.
The bot replies with the text — copy it, forward it or save it.

Free: 3 transcriptions a day; for a long recording, the first 3 minutes. With Voicy Pro, recordings up to 8 hours in full.

Example

A 40-second voice message from a colleague, as the bot sends it back:

Hi! We're moving the call to Friday, 11 am. Before that, please take a look at the mockups — I've posted the link in the team chat. If you have edits, send them by Thursday so the designer has time.

Questions

Do I need Telegram Premium?

No. The bot @voicy transcribes voice messages in regular Telegram, without a Premium subscription.

How many voice messages can I transcribe for free?

3 a day. For a long recording, the first 3 minutes are free; the whole recording, up to 8 hours, comes with Voicy Pro.

What about long recordings?

Long calls and lectures are easier on voicy.bot: every phrase has its time, you can search the text, and Voicy Pro adds the key points and notes.

Is it the same bot as @voicybot?

No, these are different bots. Voicy is the bot @voicy and the site voicy.bot.
