openclaw - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]: Telegram voice note saved to inbound but not sent to ASR pipeline [1 participants]

• .ogg file is downloaded and saved successfully
• no transcript appears in chat
• no ASR/transcription/provider log lines appear
• no media/audio processing logs appear

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by investigating and fixing the media understanding and transcription dispatch mechanism in OpenClaw.

Guidance

• Verify the configuration and setup of the transcription pipeline in OpenClaw to ensure it is correctly set up to handle .ogg files from Telegram.
• Check the logs for any errors or warnings related to media processing or transcription dispatch to identify potential issues.
• Test the transcription pipeline with a manually submitted .ogg file to confirm that the issue is specific to the automated process.
• Review the code responsible for detecting and dispatching audio media to the transcription provider to ensure it is correctly handling the saved .ogg files.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more information about the OpenClaw codebase, but the investigation should focus on the components responsible for media understanding and transcription dispatch.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the interaction between OpenClaw and the transcription pipeline, and not with the Telegram delivery or file download/persistence. The fact that manually submitting the .ogg file to Groq transcription works suggests that the issue is likely in the OpenClaw media understanding or transcription dispatch mechanism.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Investigate and fix the media understanding and transcription dispatch mechanism in OpenClaw, as the issue seems to be specific to this component and not with the transcription provider or audio file validity.
