Your voice notes, back as text
Send yourself a voice note on Telegram from anywhere. Your computer transcribes it and the bot replies with the text. Setup takes about two minutes, and the only thing you build is a chat contact.
Open Telegram and find BotFather
Search for @BotFather in Telegram. It is Telegram's official bot for making bots. Look for the blue verified check next to the name.
Create your bot
Send it this message:
/newbot
BotFather asks for a display name (anything you like, say My Notes), then a username. The username has to end in bot and be unique, something like adams_notes_bot.
Copy the token
BotFather replies with a message containing an HTTP API token that looks like 123456789:AbCdEfGh…. Tap it once to copy. Treat it like a password: anyone who has it can read what you send the bot.
Paste it into Quantum Talker
Open Quantum Talker → Settings → Telegram voice notes. Paste the token and hit Connect. The status flips to Listening as @your_bot within a few seconds.
Say hello to your bot
Back in BotFather's reply there is a t.me/your_bot link. Tap it, press Start, and the chat pairs with your computer. From then on the bot only listens to this one chat.
Send a voice note
Hold the microphone button and talk. A few seconds later the transcript appears in Quantum Talker's Scribe tab, lands in your speaking history, and (if you left the reply toggle on) comes back to you in the chat as text.
Audio files work too: mp3, wav, m4a, flac, ogg and friends, up to Telegram's 20 MB limit for bots.
Check three things: the status in Settings says Listening, the Catch voice notes toggle is on, and you are messaging the bot from the paired chat. Sent from a different account? Hit Reset next to Paired chat and message the bot again.
A bot token can only be polled by one program at a time. If you pasted the same token into some other tool, stop that tool, or make a fresh bot just for Quantum Talker with /newbot.
They queue up on Telegram's side and arrive the next time Quantum Talker launches. Telegram holds undelivered updates for roughly 24 hours.
Telegram caps bot downloads at 20 MB, which is around 20 minutes of voice note. Longer recordings: split them, or drop the file straight onto the Quantum Talker window, which has no size limit.
Hit Disconnect in Settings (this erases the stored token), and if you want the token itself dead, send BotFather /revoke.
The audio travels from Telegram straight to your computer, where a local speech model turns it into text on your own CPU. The bot token is stored encrypted with your OS keychain, and the app talks to exactly one server for this feature: api.telegram.org. Worth knowing: a chat with a Telegram bot is regular cloud messaging, so give it the same trust you give any Telegram chat.
