Transcribe a Telegram recording
Telegram (Voice & video messages). Telegram voice messages are .oga (Opus) and round video messages are MP4; both save via Save As on Telegram Desktop. Once you have the file, Whipscribe turns it into a clean transcript with speaker labels and per-word timestamps, exportable to TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX — no conversion required, and nothing ever leaves our private infrastructure for a third-party AI service.
