What it does

Speakers and timestamps
Dialogues are labelled by speaker, so you can see who said what and when.
Summary, tasks, article, post
Buttons under every transcript. "Tasks" lists who promised what and by when. Ask any question about the recording.
DOCX, TXT, SRT
A document for your notes, meeting minutes to send around, or subtitles for a video.
English and Russian
Language is detected automatically, mixed speech works. Speech recognition by ElevenLabs Scribe v2, about half the error rate of Whisper.

FAQ
How is this different from Telegram Premium's built-in transcription?
Premium transcribes only short voice messages and only for subscribers. Voicepad handles files up to 2 GB and video links, labels speakers, adds timestamps, writes summaries and action items, exports DOCX, TXT and SRT and works in group chats.
Which languages are supported?
English, Russian and dozens of others, detected automatically.
What happens to my data?
Audio and video are deleted right after recognition, texts are kept for 30 days so the buttons keep working, and /delete wipes everything at once.
How do I use it in a group?
Add @Voicepad_bot to the chat. Voice messages are transcribed automatically, video links get a button, and /text in a reply transcribes anything else. Admins can switch auto mode off with /mute.
