Need to check a voice note during a meeting or just prefer reading over listening? WhatsApp now lets you transcribe voice messages into text in just a few taps.
How to:
– Go to ‘Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts’ in WhatsApp.
– Choose your preferred language (e.g. English).
– Then, in any chat, tap and hold the voice message.
– Select ‘Transcribe’ when the option appears.
What it’s for:
Ideal for catching up on messages when you can’t play audio out loud — or for double-checking long or unclear voice notes.
Pro‑Tip: Transcription works offline and on-device for privacy — but always scan the text for errors before forwarding or quoting.
