Sometimes reading is better than listening

Are you the kind of person who enjoys listening to loud voice notes in public? Well stop it, everybody hates you!

With patent-pending CapybarAI™, you can avoid public shame by transcribing your voice notes and reading them in blissful silence, or without interrupting your favorite tunes.

We can transcribe voice notes in all major languages, of lengths up to around 20 minutes.

How it works

Our voice note transcription service lives on Telegram, as it provides a more open service than iMessage, and is free to use.

Here's how to send us a voice note from iMessage:

  • Long-press the voice note in iMessage
  • Tap the icon
  • Select Telegram as the share location
  • Choose Baraphrase Transcribe as the recipient
  • Enjoy your transcript!

FAQs

Do I need to sign up?

No! You can access our Telegram transcription bot totally anonymously if you want to. We don't need your personal details, nor do we want them.

Is Baraphrase secure?

Yes! We only use the voice notes you send us to create transcripts, and don't collect or retain any sensitive information. The data you send us is also never used to train any AI models.

Why do I need to use Telegram?

Telegram provides the best combination of privacy, ease of use and low cost. Other chat platforms either charge to access their service (e.g. WhatsApp), or collect too much personal information (e.g. Messenger).

Are there usage limits?

For now, Baraphrase is totally free. In the future we may introduce paid tiers or advertising to support the service.

Can I send really long voice notes?

Yes! Voice notes of up to 20 minutes should work fine, however bear in mind that really long voice notes may create a transcript that is longer than Telegram's message limit (4096 characters).
