Matt TranscriberTelegram does offer voice note transcription, but with one important detail: unlimited voice-to-text conversion is reserved for Telegram Premium subscribers. If voice notes land in your chats every day and you don't want yet another subscription just to read them, there's an alternative that covers Telegram, WhatsApp and every other app at once.
