Turn audio and video into text in Telegram

Send a voice message, a video note, an audio or video file, or a link to a video. Scribio replies with the text, a short summary and a file you can download, and answers questions about what was said.

  • Voice, audio, video and links
  • 5 transcriptions free
  • Summary and questions

Three steps, no app to install

Everything happens in your chat with the bot.

1

Send a recording or a link

A voice message, a video note, an audio or video file, or a link to a video on YouTube, VK, Instagram, TikTok and other sites.

2

Wait for the text

A short voice message comes back as a plain message. A long recording or a link comes back as one message with the text, a file, a summary and timecodes.

3

Use the result

Copy the text, download it as TXT, Markdown, Word or PDF, or ask the bot anything about the recording.

Want it hands-free? Add the bot to a group chat and it writes out every voice message and video note as soon as it arrives.

What Scribio does with a recording

One bot for everything that is said in your chats, calls and videos.

Voice messages and video notes

Forward or send a voice message, a round video note, an audio file or a video. For a video the bot transcribes the soundtrack.

Links to videos

Paste a link from YouTube, VK, Instagram, TikTok and dozens of other sites. The bot gets the audio and, when the video has subtitles, uses them to correct names and terms.

TXT, Markdown, Word, PDF

Pick the format once in Settings. Long recordings come with a version with timecodes so you can find the right moment.

Summary

A recording with enough text also gets a short summary of 4 to 8 points, in your language.

Questions about the text

Tap Ask questions and write normally: what was decided, who said what, what the deadline is. The bot answers from the transcript.

Transcription in groups

Add the bot to a group and it writes out every voice message and video note there by itself.

Language hint

The language is detected automatically. For a noisy or mixed recording, turn on the language hint in Settings and name the language yourself.

Transcript history

The last 10 transcripts stay in the bot. Pick one and keep asking questions about it.

Who this is for

Long voice messages

Read a ten-minute voice message in a minute, in a meeting or on the way, without playing the sound.

Calls and interviews

Turn a recorded call or an interview into text, then ask what was agreed or find the quote you need.

Videos and podcasts

Get the text of a video or a podcast episode from a link, with a summary, instead of watching it to the end.

Lectures and study

Turn a lecture recording into notes: a Word or PDF file and a list of the main points.

Plan details

Questions people ask before the first recording

Is Scribio free?

You get 5 free transcriptions in total, with no time limit. A link that someone has already transcribed in the bot does not use one up. After that you need a Premium subscription: it removes the count. The price is shown in the bot.

What can I send to the bot?

Voice messages, video notes (round videos), audio files, video files and links to videos on YouTube, VK, Instagram, TikTok and dozens of other sites. A file can be sent as a document too: MP3, M4A, AAC, OGG, OPUS, WAV, FLAC, MP4, MOV, MKV, WebM, AVI and M4V are accepted.

How long can a recording be?

Up to 1 hour on the free plan and up to 6 hours with Premium. A longer recording is declined before processing, with a hint about Premium.

Which languages does it understand?

The language is detected automatically. If the recording is noisy, short or mixes languages, open Settings, turn on the language hint and the bot will ask for the language before each file you send: Russian, English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Ukrainian or auto-detect.

What do I get back?

A short voice message comes back as a plain message. A long recording or a link comes back as one message with a collapsible text, a file in your format (TXT, Markdown, Word or PDF), a summary and a block with timecodes. For a link the audio track is attached too.

Can I ask questions about the text?

Yes. Tap Ask questions under the result, or just write a message after the transcript arrives. The bot answers from the transcript and remembers the conversation. Open Transcript history to go back to one of your last 10 recordings.

Does it work in groups?

Yes. Add @ScribioBot to a group and give it administrator rights: it writes out voice messages and video notes automatically. A free chat gets up to 10 transcriptions a day, a chat with a subscription up to 50.

Does it label who is speaking?

For longer recordings (10 minutes and more) the text can be split by speakers with timecodes, when the speech recognition server supports it. Short recordings come as plain text.

Does it keep my recordings?

The bot works with your recording while it transcribes it. Your history keeps the title, the text and the summary of your last transcripts so you can ask questions about them. See the privacy policy for details and for how to delete them.

Is my payment secure and can I get a refund?

Card details are entered on the Stripe payment page, which is PCI-compliant, and never touch MadBots servers. We offer a full refund within 14 days of your first purchase if the Service has not been substantially used: email [email protected] with your order details.

Send your first recording

Open the bot, send a voice message, a file or a link and get the text back in the same chat.
