Audio transcribed to text in Telegram: lines tagged with speakers and timestamps
A voice message or interview turns into text — with a breakdown by speaker if you want one.

Not just a voice-note bot — part of a real media workflow

Flowmark earns its keep when the recording is real work: an interview, a podcast, a video with speech. And here transcription isn't a separate service but one of the actions on a file. A video can be transcribed to text, and then, in the same bot, you can bleep out profanity, compress it for publishing or add a logo — without shuttling the file between services.

§ 01 · Not just "raw text"

Transcription on your terms

Before you start, you choose how the result is put together — instead of getting one solid wall of text.

Separation by speaker

Diarization splits the lines by speaker — handy for interviews, calls and round-tables.

Timestamps for audio and video

Each fragment is tagged with its time — easy to find the right moment in the original recording.

Paragraphs, not a wall of text

Flowing text for reading and publishing — or line by line for proofing and edits.

You can take the result in the format you need: plain text (TXT), a formatted DOCX or SRT — subtitles for video and editing. And if you want a different layout afterwards — switch to paragraphs, add or remove timestamps — there's no need to re-upload the recording and wait for a new transcription: a formatting button sits right next to the finished result, and the bot re-formats the already-recognized text to the new settings.

The language of the recording can be set explicitly — it improves accuracy on mixed-language recordings and strong accents. And for recordings with background music there is a dedicated mode: the voice is separated from the instrumental, and recognition runs on the clean vocal track — more about transcribing recordings with music.

A transcription can be stopped while it runs — there is a cancel button next to the progress. The finished text comes back as a reply to that very message with the file, so in a chat with several tasks it is clear what the result belongs to.

§ 02 · Careful with your files

Processing on the service side

Flowmark processes the recording on the service side. In the main scenario transcription can run locally; the result comes back to the chat, and temporary files aren't kept longer than processing requires.

The recognized text is also checked for the typical hallucinations — repeated phrases and stretches that models sometimes "invent" over long pauses — so they don't make it into the final text.

§ 03 · Common questions

The essentials, in brief

What can I transcribe?

Voice messages, audio files, podcasts, interviews and video with speech. The "Audio to text" button appears in the menu when such a recording lands in the bot.

Can I transcribe video?

Yes. Transcribing video to text works the same way as for audio — the sound track is recognized, and you get text with timestamps.

How is this different from Telegram's built-in transcription?

The built-in transcription is handy for short voice notes. Flowmark is for when the recording is real work: an interview, a podcast, a video — with timestamps, speaker separation, formatting and the option to process the file itself right there.

Can I change the text format after transcription?

Yes. Switching the output to paragraphs, or adding and removing timestamps, doesn't need a new transcription — the bot re-formats the already-recognized text.

Can the lines be separated by speaker?

Yes. Before you start, you turn on diarization — speaker separation. It works both line by line and in flowing paragraphs; timestamps are available alongside.

In what format does the result arrive?

Your choice: plain text (TXT), a formatted DOCX or SRT subtitles for video and editing. The layout can be re-formatted — switched to paragraphs or have timestamps added — without re-transcribing.

Can I set the language of the recording?

Yes. By default the language is detected automatically, but it can be set explicitly — it helps on recordings with mixed speech, strong accents or rare terminology.

What if the recording has background music?

Enable the music mode: the voice is separated from the instrumental, and recognition runs on the clean vocal track. More on the transcribing recordings with music page.

Where does my file go?

Flowmark processes the recording on the service side; in the main scenario transcription can run locally. Temporary files aren't kept longer than processing requires.
