Summarize OGG recordings by handing the file to Potok in Telegram, and a short digest comes back in 1 reply. Heavy background music can bury the words, and a recording cut mid-answer yields an unfinished point. Treat the digest as a pointer, and keep the OGG for any quote you need word for word.

Typical OGG slips
| Mistake | What happens | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Sending an OGG with heavy background music | Speech is hard to hear, so the summary misses points | Use an OGG with clear speech and quiet background |
| Expecting the summary to keep every quote from the OGG | Short summaries paraphrase and leave out exact wording | Use the full transcript for quotes |
| Cutting the OGG recording in the middle of an answer | The summary starts mid-thought and loses the context | Trim the OGG at a natural break |
| Sending an OGG voice note recorded in a crowded cafe | Strangers' talk enters the summary as if it were relevant | Record somewhere calm or point out the real speaker in text |
