TAK! TEXT vs Voice Messages
TAK! TEXT (@taktextbot) is the safer choice for anyone transcribing work recordings: it names its operator, publishes prices from $3.49 a month, states that audio is deleted right after recognition, and separates up to 48 speakers with timestamps. Voice Messages (@my_voice_messages_bot) does the part that saves the most time on long files — a written summary next to the transcript, for audio and video alike — but its operator, free allowance and language list are not published. Pick Voice Messages when TAK! TEXT's 15 free minutes and 10 AI requests for the month are used up and a summary is all you need; check its allowance inside the bot first.
