BUYER’S GUIDE / TELEGRAM
Choose a Telegram translator by the result you need.
A text translation, a spoken reply and a native video note are three different results. Test the one you actually want to send.
We build BUBLEDUB, so this is a product team’s selection guide, not an independent ranking. We do not claim to be the best translator for every task. Use the checklist below with your own recording and verify each tool’s current limits and price before paying.
Start with the output, not a language count
If you only need to understand a message, translated text may be enough. If you want your contact to hear a reply, look for spoken translation. If you use Telegram video notes, test whether the output is a native round video note or a normal video attachment.
A comparison checklist you can use
| Check | Why it matters | BUBLEDUB |
|---|---|---|
| Voice output | Text alone is not a dubbed voice message. | Audio translation returns a voice message in Telegram. |
| Circle output | A round picture in a rectangular file is not a native video note. | Video notes return as native circles. |
| Source limits | Check both duration and upload size. | Bot: 3 minutes, 20 MB. Web limits depend on mode. |
| Target languages | Availability can differ by voice mode. | 56 in Fast; Fast+ and Pro have different availability. |
| Voice choice and consent | A preset and a clone are different features. | Nine presets in Fast; own-voice modes require consent. |
| Price basis | Compare source seconds, language count and subscription requirements. | Fast: 1 credit per source second per target. Web packs from €4.99. |
Test a realistic sample
Choose a short recording you have permission to process. Include a normal pause and an important name or term. Compare the translated meaning, clarity, timing and ease of forwarding. A clip full of background noise tests a different problem from a clear voice message, so use a source similar to your everyday recordings.
Count the cost of your actual task
A 60-second message translated into one language in BUBLEDUB Fast uses 60 credits. The same source in two target languages uses 120. Fast+ and Pro use ×2 and ×8 credits. The 150-credit trial can cover 2½ minutes of Fast translation into one language. These are product calculations, not a comparison of unverified competitor prices.
Know when you need transcription instead
For finding quotes, taking notes or sharing a written summary, a transcript can be more useful than a dub. The web Transcript workflow accepts audio or video up to five hours and 500 MB and exports TXT, DOCX, PDF, SRT and VTT. It does not join live Telegram calls.
Try the workflow
Open @bubledubbot, send a short recording and select a language. Listen before forwarding. For a full description of format preservation and account linking, read the Telegram translator guide. For longer files, compare audio translation with audio-to-text.
