How to Use the Voice-to-Text Feature on Telegram

When you are busy or have difficulty sending texts, voice messages can be a good alternative. But in a situation where you have difficulty listening, you might wish that text was the best. That's why Telegram has added the voice-to-text feature to make voice messages easy to access. Although it doesn't have a built-in voice-to-text feature for everyone, Telegram premium users can now automatically transcribe voice messages so you can read the message without hearing the audio.

This article explains how to use the voice-to-text feature on Telegram.
