Five bots that turn a voice message, video note or a longer recording into text — two free, three with a free tier before paid use.
Turning a voice message into text is one of the most useful things a Telegram bot can do, whether it's a colleague's rambling voice note or a recorded meeting you don't want to relisten to. transcriber_bot is free by its developers' own stated policy and reads text out of a photo as well. voicybot is free and open source, and — unlike some transcription bots — works inside group chats, not just private messages.
For a recorded meeting, taktextbot separates up to 48 speakers, adds timestamps and a summary, and gives free minutes every 30 days before its paid plans; my_voice_messages_bot transcribes audio and video and then writes the summary.
Free and open source, and works in group chats, not just private messages — forward a voice or add it to a chat.

The one for a recorded meeting: up to 48 speakers separated, timestamps and a summary, and a published policy on who runs it and when your audio is deleted.

A Yandex-affiliated bot for turning voice messages into more accessible text formats, free.
Yes — voicybot (free and open source) and transcriber_bot (free by its developers' stated policy) both transcribe voice messages to text with no paid tier required.
taktextbot is built for it: it separates up to 48 speakers and adds timestamps and a summary, with free minutes every 30 days before a paid plan. my_voice_messages_bot also takes audio and video files and writes a summary next to the transcript.
voicybot works in groups — add it to a chat and every voice message gets an automatic text reply underneath it; it transcribes in private messages too.
