About this App
A seven-minute voice message lands while you are on the metro with no headphones. Scribacchino turns such messages into text and boils long web pages down to the point. The bot comes from an Italian developer and runs on AI, so it is useful even if you do not speak Italian 🎙
You can use it in a private chat or add it to a group. The bot's description is in Italian, but the idea is clear: transcription of voice messages and short summaries of web pages.
Three things it does
- Voice transcription. Forward a message, get the text.
- Page summaries. Send a link to an article and get the main points.
- Group use. Add the bot to a chat and it helps every member.
The service is free and needs no sign-up. According to information online, it can be used without payment.
The command menu
Commands are described in Italian, but they are easy to figure out.
- /help. General help.
- /helpreactions. A legend for the reactions: what each one means.
- /helprecap. An explanation of the commands that recap a conversation.
- /impostazioni. Bot settings.
- /force. Summarize a video or page even if it is short.
- /spoiler. Hide your own message behind a spoiler.
- /delete. Delete your own message.
- /dona. Support the author with a donation.
Up and running in a minute
- Open the bot and press Start.
- Forward it a voice message you do not feel like hearing.
- Read the transcript and reply in text if needed.
- For an article, send the link and wait for the brief version.
- In a group, add the bot as a member and read up on /helprecap.
What to expect from quality
Transcription is automatic, so mistakes happen: noise, fast speech, dialects, names. For important messages, check the result against what you know.
A summary is only an outline. For contracts, medical advice, and legal texts, read the original in full.
Privacy: what to know
Voice messages and links are processed on the service's side. Do not forward messages with passwords, bank details, or other people's secrets.
- Other people's voice notes. Before forwarding, think about whether the speaker would agree.
- Groups. Tell members that the bot has been added to the chat.
- Confidential material. Keep private work conversations away from outside services.
Everyday scenarios
A colleague sends a long voice note full of tasks: transcribe it and copy the items into your to-do list. A friend drops a link to a huge article: ask for a summary to decide whether it deserves a full read.
In a family chat the bot helps with voice messages that are hard to hear in a noisy place. Just make sure everyone in the chat agrees.
Telegram has its own voice transcription too. It is handy for occasional messages, while third-party bots may offer different terms, page summaries, and group settings.
Try both on a couple of messages and keep the one that suits you better. Nothing stops you from using both: one for quick cases, the other for long ones.
Who will use it
People who receive many voice messages, students, journalists, and heavy readers of articles. It also fits admins of chats where links get shared often 🙂
