Questions about a transcript

A transcript is not the end. In a private chat with @ScribioBot you can ask questions about the recording, and the bot answers from its text.

How to ask

Tap Ask questions under the result, or just write a message once the transcript has arrived. The latest transcript becomes the active one, so a plain message is read as a question about it. A message that contains a link is not a question: it starts a new transcription.

The bot remembers the conversation, so a follow-up question can be short. Up to 50 recent messages are kept for 30 days. When you send a new recording, a new conversation starts.

If a question has nothing to do with the recording, the bot answers it as a regular assistant. Answers come in your language unless you write in another one.

Transcript history

Open Transcript history (or use the /history command) to see your last 10 transcripts. Each has a title, the length and how many questions you asked. Tap a number to make that transcript active again: the bot confirms and you can keep asking. Switching starts a new conversation.

Limits

• A very long transcript is cut for the answer at about 300,000 characters; the answer says so if the part you ask about is missing.
• Questions are not limited by the free transcriptions: only transcribing uses them up. See limits and plans.
• Questions work in a private chat. In a group the bot only transcribes voice messages and video notes, see transcription in groups.

Questions

Can I ask about a video that I sent as a link?

Yes. The transcript of a link is the same as any other, so the questions work the same way.

Can the bot answer in another language?

Write the question in that language: the bot answers in the language of your message.

Where did my old conversation go?

Opening a different transcript from the history, or sending a new recording, starts a fresh conversation.
