Whisper Speech To Text Telegram bot

(just a small and simple bot I've created for myself)

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine
2. Use this guide to obtain api_id and api_hash.
3. Message @BotFather to create a new bot and get its token. Also you can use @userinfobot to get your telegram id (admin id).
4. Edit config-example.ini file and rename it to config.ini
5. You should disable privacy mode for groups for your bot using @BotFather (to allow your bot work in Telegram groups).
6. [Optional] use venv to avoid conflicts because of packages versions. Install requirements from requirements.txt file (for Windows it py -m pip install -r requirements.txt).
7. Run the main.py file, send a /commands command to your bot from your (admin) account to set up the commands menu.

Usage

To allow transcribing voice messages in some chats, you should add the id of this chat to the allowed list using /allow command.

The bot will message you when it's added to some group so you can easily get its id.

To remove chat from allowed - use /disallow command.
