Telegram Bot for translating too long voice messages

The modern problem

I cannot be the only one who DESPISES getting 5 minute long voice messages that are rambling on about trivialities. I cannot quickly grog them. I cannot search them. I forget half of what was said in the beginning.

The modern solution

Just send the voice message to this bot, and it will give you a half arsed transciption that you may or may not be able to make sense of.

How to set this up?

1. Get an account at cloud.ibm.com
2. Acquire a speech2text API token (https://cloud.ibm.com/services/speech-to-text)
3. Setup a telegram bot and acquire that token
4. clone this project
5. install poetry and pyenv
6. poetry install
7. poetry run tldlbot
8. Fix some errors that occur because of hardcoded paths or whatever
9. enjoy
