Potok turns speech into text in 33 languages, including English and Russian.
To ask a question about a recorded conversation, send it to the Potok Telegram bot @potok_now_bot and press the "Ask" button under the transcript: the bot answers your question about the recording. Next to it are the "Summary" and "Tasks and deadlines" buttons. The bot transcribes 60 minutes per month for free.
If you need a single answer from a transcript, the Telegram bot @potok_now_bot has an "Ask" button.
How to ask a question about a recorded conversation in the transcription bot
- Send the bot a recording: a voice message, a video message, audio or video, or a file or a link to YouTube, VK Video or RuTube.
- Wait for the transcript.
- Press the "Ask" button under the transcript.
- Write your question about the recording and get an answer to it.
If you often need the same request, you can make up to 5 buttons of your own with a ready-made request to the text, for example "Email to a client" or "Minutes": the person writes the request themselves. All transcripts stay in "My recordings", and you can open them again. Speech in 100+ languages is recognized (the language is detected automatically). How to pass the bot a file by link is shown on the page about transcription from a direct link to a file.
If you do not need a question but a finished result
Next to the "Ask" button are "Summary" and "Tasks and deadlines". "Summary" is a short summary, the main points and tasks by speaker, and "Tasks and deadlines" is who, what and by when. More is in the section on the summary and tasks from a recording.
Where Potok cannot do this
Questions about a recording are the job of the bot, not the Potok app. The app for Windows, macOS and Linux is for dictating text by voice, and it does not transcribe recordings of conversations. @potok_now_bot handles those, and the subscription is shared between the app and the bot. What Potok does not have: apps for Android and iPhone, voice commands, offline mode. Recognition is cloud-based, on servers in Russia, and Potok does not work without the internet.
Frequently asked questions
Next to Ask are Summary and Tasks and deadlines. Summary is a short summary and the tasks by speaker, Tasks and deadlines is who, what and by when. Anything else the person writes as their own question.
You write the question yourself, and the bot answers it from the text of that recording: about the agreements made, for instance, or about what each side promised. A ready list of assignments with deadlines is given by a separate button, Tasks and deadlines.
Up to five. You write the request for each button of your own yourself, for example “Letter to the client” or “Minutes”.
No. The question is asked about the finished transcript, and the recording itself stays in My recordings and can be opened again.
