AI Image & Voice Tools

Four utilities for working with images and voice messages - remove backgrounds, extract text, describe images, and transcribe voice notes.

Remove Background

$removebg [crop]

Also $nobg/$bgremove/$bg, /image removebg. Attach an image (or several at once), reply to one, or paste a link. Add the word crop anywhere in the message (or the slash command's own crop option) to also trim the empty transparent margin and enlarge the subject to fill the frame. Max 15MB per image.

Extract Text (OCR)

$ocr

Also $textocr/$readtext, /image ocr. Attach an image (or several), reply to one, or paste a link - reads back any text found in it. Max 15MB per image.

Describe an Image

$vision

Also $describe/$seeimg, /image vision. Attach an image (or several), reply to one, or paste a link - describes what's in it, and can read out any text present too. Max 8MB per image (smaller than the other three tools' 15MB cap).

Transcribe a Voice Message

$transcribe

Also $stt/$vtt/$ts, and a standalone /transcribe slash command (not nested under /image). Reply to a voice message, or send one along with the command; the slash version takes the voice file as a direct upload instead. Max 15MB, and the clip must be 60 seconds or shorter.

Transcribing the exact same voice clip again within a few minutes - by you or anyone else - returns the cached result instantly instead of processing it again.

⚠️

Each of these tools queues your request rather than running it instantly - if you already have too many queued at once, or the tool's overall queue is full, you'll be told to wait. Heavy, automated-looking usage may also get temporarily rate-limited.

If a tool isn't set up or is temporarily unreachable, the command replies with a clear "isn't set up yet" or "is offline right now" message rather than failing silently.
