SteosVoice: Text to Speech Bot

You need a voiceover for a video, but there is no narrator. Or you just want to hear how a line sounds in the voice of a hero from your favorite game. SteosVoice turns text into speech right inside Telegram, and it offers more than eight hundred voices. 🎙️

Recently the bot learned the reverse trick too: it recognizes voice messages and turns them into text. Everything works inside the messenger with no separate software.

A voice for every mood

The catalogue falls into three large groups, which makes choosing much easier.

• Game voices. Recognizable character timbres, good for memes, streams and joke videos.
• Cartoon voices. Cheerful voices for kids' stories and animation.
• Announcer voices. Even delivery for presentations, training videos and audio lessons.

Before voicing a long text, try the voice on a short phrase. The same script sounds completely different in different voices.

How to get a voiceover

1. Open the main menu with /menu.
2. Pick a voice from the catalogue.
3. Send your text and wait for the finished audio.
4. Download or forward the file where you need it.

For a big voiceover, split the text into paragraphs. It is easier to fix mistakes and tune the pauses that way.

Characters instead of minutes

The service counts characters, not time. The /symbols command shows how many are left and offers a plan if your stock has run out.

Estimate the volume in advance: a page of ordinary text holds about fifteen hundred to two thousand characters with spaces. Check the current terms and prices only inside the bot, because they may change.

Voice message recognition

The new feature helps in two cases. Someone sent you a long voice note and listening is inconvenient. Or you want to turn your own speech into a text draft quickly.

A transcript always needs proofreading. Names, terms and background noise hurt accuracy, so skim the result before sending it on.

Things to keep in mind

• Usage rights. For commercial projects, check your plan's terms, since not every plan covers commercial use.
• Other people's voices. A voiceover that imitates a real person or a famous character can violate rights. Never pass synthesis off as someone's real speech.
• Fraud. A synthetic voice must not be used to deceive people or fake calls.
• Personal data. Do not send passwords or ID details to the service.

Use punctuation: commas and periods set the pauses. Write numbers out as words and check complex names and abbreviations by ear. 🔊

Short sentences sound more natural than long ones. If a line sounds strange, rewrite it instead of changing the voice.

Three everyday scenarios

A teacher turns lecture notes into an audio lesson that students play on the way to school. A short video author voices a script when they dislike their own voice or have no microphone.

A gamer records a joke greeting for a friend in the voice of a familiar character. Little things like that make the bot popular, since it all takes a couple of minutes. 😄

Who it is for

Short video authors, teachers, gamers and anyone who needs to voice a text or transcribe a voice note. The bot has gathered more than 400 thousand users, which makes it one of the most visible voice tools in Telegram.
