WhatsApp Voice Message Transcripts
WhatsApp.com, on blog.whatsapp.com:
For those moments we’re excited to introduce voice message transcripts. Voice messages can be transcribed into text to help you keep up with conversations no matter what you’re doing.
Transcripts are generated on your device so that no one else, not even WhatsApp, can hear or read your personal messages.
This is extremely cool and useful. I use voice notes in WhatsApp a lot — don’t mind listening to podcast notes as others might, since it’s better than not hearing from someone. The fact that it happens in-device is also appreciated.
To get started, go to Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts to easily turn transcriptions on or off and select your transcript language. You can transcribe a voice message by long pressing on the message and tapping on ‘transcribe’. We’re excited to build on this experience and make it even better and more seamless.
Been waiting and finally got access today. Switched the language to Spanish — only supports one language right now. But it works extremely well.
