WhatsApp gets voice message transcripts | Infinium-tech
Voice messages are much easier to send than typing, but, for some people, it is more troublesome to listen to than to read. Today WhatsApp has officially introduced a new feature that aims to ease the problems of people who hate listening to voice messages.
Voice message transcripts are just that. WhatsApp says voice messages can be transcribed to text, “helping you keep the conversation going no matter what you’re doing”. Transcripts are generated on your device so no one, not even WhatsApp, can listen to or read your personal messages.
Currently the supported languages for Transcript on Android are English, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian, while on iOS 16 they are joined by French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Chinese and Arabic and in iOS 17 and later you can Have also joined. Get Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Malay, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish and Thai.
To turn on voice message transcripts, go to Settings, tap on Chats and you’ll find the option. Then, to transcribe a voice message, long press on it and tap ‘Transcribe’.
The new feature is rolling out globally “in the coming weeks.” More languages will be added in the future.
