In short

To read a voice message instead of listening, forward it to @TranscribeVoiceBot — it replies with the text, and in a group it transcribes every voice message for everyone, without Telegram Premium. To send an MP3 or a song as a voice message, or to save a voice message as MP3, use @MakeVideoNoteBot. To find out what song is playing, send a recording or a video to @SongFinderMusicBot. All three are free bots from the HandyBots family, made by us.

## Frequently asked questions

**Can I turn voice messages into text without Telegram Premium?**

Yes. Forward the voice message to @TranscribeVoiceBot — it sends the text back, free within its daily limit.

**Can I send an MP3 as a voice message in Telegram?**

Yes. Send the MP3 to @MakeVideoNoteBot and tap Voice message: the bot replies with a real voice message that you can forward to any chat.

**Are my recordings stored?**

No. Recordings are processed on our own server and deleted after the reply; speech recognition runs on the same server, with no outside services. The one exception is @SongFinderMusicBot: to find a song it sends up to nine 12-second clips (some at a changed speed) to the AudD and Shazam services and, if the song isn't found, may send the recognized sung words of a clip to Genius to search by lyrics; it deletes your recording after the reply.

**How do I find out what song is playing?**

Send @SongFinderMusicBot a voice message of 10–15 seconds recorded while the music plays, or forward a video. It replies with the title, the artist and links; 30 recognitions a day are free.
