TAK! TEXT

Most transcription bots ask you to trust an anonymous account with your recordings. TAK! TEXT is the one in this list that does not: its site names the operator — sershiko, a company registered in Amsterdam with a published chamber-of-commerce number — states that the servers are in Germany, and spells out what happens to your files. Audio is deleted immediately after transcription; the transcript is deleted after twenty-four hours.

The function is the broad kind: voice messages, audio files, video and links, 90+ languages with automatic detection, speaker separation for up to 48 voices, timestamps, an AI summary, translation into thirteen languages, and export to PDF or TXT. That last group is what you actually want from a meeting recording rather than a forwarded voice note, and it is the reason to keep this one next to a simpler bot.

The price is published too, which is rarer than it should be: free minutes renew every thirty days, and the paid plans start at a few dollars a month for a few hundred minutes, paid in Telegram Stars or by card. The free allowance is small enough that it is a trial rather than a plan — treat it as a way to check accuracy on your own audio before deciding.
