The provision establishes the operational framework for a third-party transcription service, defining the scope of data transmission and imposing contractual restrictions on Google's use of shared audio data. This arrangement allows Telegram to offer voice-to-text functionality while limiting the categories of information accessible to the third-party processor.
Users who elect to use voice-to-text conversion must accept that audio data from those messages will be transmitted to Google for transcription. The terms specify that Google will not retain audio data or transcripts, will not use the data for other purposes, and will not log the information, with Telegram bearing the payment obligation for the service.

"Since Telegram may rely on a third party, Google LLC, subsidiary of Alphabet Inc, for voice-to-text conversion, the audio data of voice and video messages that users choose to convert to text may be shared with Google in order to obtain their transcribed versions. Only audio data may be shared for this purpose (no other data, such as the user's IP address or any information about their account is shared). According to the agreement between Telegram and Google, Telegram will pay for the transcriptions on behalf of its users and Google will only access the audio data to provide a transcribed version – it will not log audio data or transcripts, and will not use the data for any other Google products, services, or advertising.— Excerpt from Telegram's Telegram Privacy Policy
