A customer can explain a tricky problem faster in a voice note than in a long typed message. The support agent still needs to find the request, check the details that matter, and send a clear reply. SUCH PRO can show a text version of an incoming customer voice message inside the support chat.

Use the transcript to scan what the customer needs before you write. It is a reading aid, not the final record: listen to the original audio before acting on an account number, a total, an address, a deadline, or any instruction that could change the customer's outcome.

Turn a voice note into text in SUCH

Voice-to-Text is part of SUCH PRO. To use it for an incoming customer message:

  1. Open the correct support-bot project in app.such.chat, then open the customer's conversation.
  2. Find the voice message the customer sent.
  3. Select the small ->A control to the right of that message.
  4. Read the transcript that appears below the voice message.
  5. Use the up-arrow control when you want to hide the transcript again.

The customer remains in the same bot conversation while the support agent reads and replies.

Use the transcript to choose the next reply

Once the agent can scan the note, the next action depends on what the customer actually asked for.

What the customer needs Useful next action
A standard answer, link, or set of steps Send the relevant quick reply.
Help with their own account, order, or exception Check the conversation context and write a specific answer.
An unclear request Ask one short follow-up question instead of guessing what the voice note meant.
Something involving a number, address, deadline, or other sensitive detail Listen to the original audio before confirming or changing anything.

The transcript is most useful when a customer covers several points in one message. Deal with the request they are making now, then ask about any missing detail in the same chat. This keeps the customer from having to repeat the whole story.

If more than one support agent handles the bot, connect the team workflow before dividing conversations between support agents. Use the multi-agent Telegram-bot setup for that route.

SUCH PRO, Telegram Premium, and Briefly solve different jobs

Telegram has its own voice-to-text feature, but it is included with a paid Telegram Premium subscription. It works for the subscribed person's own Telegram account. That can be a good fit when one person already has Premium and only needs to read a message in Telegram.

It does not add a transcript to a shared SUCH project. When support agents handle customer conversations together, SUCH PRO keeps the transcript beneath the incoming voice note in the same conversation they use to reply. When someone needs a separate, standalone transcription or summary instead, Briefly is another option, subject to the team's privacy policy.

Need Best fit What it does
A support agent needs to read a customer's voice note in the team's bot conversation SUCH PRO Voice-to-Text Shows text under the incoming voice message in the SUCH web app.
One Telegram account holder wants to transcribe a message in Telegram Telegram Premium Telegram's native voice-to-text feature for that subscribed account.
Someone wants to send or forward voice, audio, or video notes to a separate bot for transcription and summaries Briefly A separate third-party bot, not a SUCH integration.

Briefly can be useful for a personal transcription or summary task. It is not connected to your SUCH project, customer conversations, or support agents. Do not forward a customer's audio to an external bot unless your support and privacy policy allows it.

Keep the original message in the decision

Speech can be interrupted, rushed, or unclear. A transcript helps an agent locate the relevant part quickly, but it cannot decide whether a customer meant a renewal date, a delivery address, an account identifier, or a number in a message. When the wording changes the answer or an action, listen to the relevant part of the voice note before replying.

For ordinary requests, the agent can respond with the correct steps, a prepared answer, or a follow-up question. The customer gets that reply in the same bot chat, without needing to use a separate transcription bot.

Check the workflow before relying on it

Ask a colleague to send a short test voice note to the support bot. In app.such.chat, open the project that owns that bot, then open the conversation created by the colleague's message. Select the ->A button beside their incoming voice note. A transcript appears below the same message; listen to the note and check that the transcript is clear enough for a support agent to use. Send a normal reply from that conversation to confirm the full workflow. Repeat this after you change agents, projects, or the way the team handles incoming chats.

FAQ

Does the customer need SUCH PRO to send a voice note?

No. The customer can send a normal voice message to the bot. Voice-to-Text is the SUCH PRO feature that the support team uses to read it as text in the web app.

Does the transcript replace the original voice note?

No. Use it to read and scan the request faster. Check the original audio before you act on a detail that must be exact.

Can Telegram transcribe voice notes without SUCH?

Yes. Telegram's native voice-to-text is available with a paid Telegram Premium subscription for the account using it. It can be useful for a person's own chats, but it does not place a transcript in a shared SUCH support conversation. Use SUCH PRO when support agents need to read and reply from the same bot conversation.

Is Briefly connected to SUCH?

No. Briefly is a separate Telegram bot. It accepts sent or forwarded voice, audio, and video notes for transcription and summaries, but it is not part of a SUCH support project.
