WhatsApp now offers voice message transcripts, converting audio messages to text directly on your device for increased privacy.
How It Works
This feature transcribes voice messages locally, ensuring WhatsApp and others cannot access the content. This enhances accessibility and convenience in various situations.
Supported Languages
- Android: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian
- iOS 16: French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Chinese, Arabic
- iOS 17+: Danish, Finnish, Hebrew, Malay, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, Thai
More languages are planned for future updates.
Enabling and Using Transcripts
- In WhatsApp Settings, go to Chats.
- Enable Voice Message Transcripts.
- Long-press a voice message and tap "Transcribe".
