Voice message transcript feature is finally coming to WhatsApp

WhatsApp is set to roll out another useful feature in the coming weeks, which will transcribe voice messages.

The messaging app made the announcement official saying that it will soon be able to transcribe texts received from friends and family.

The users will help users to read the messages if they’re in a loud place and can’t listen to them or the voice message is too long.

In order to use the new feature, you’ll have to navigate to Settings / Chats / Voice message transcripts and enable transcriptions.

Don’t forget to select your transcript language too. WhatsApp users can transcribe a voice message by long pressing on the message and tapping on “transcribe.”

It’s worth mentioning that transcripts will be generated directly on your device, which means no one else, not even WhatsApp, will be able to hear or read the messages you receive.
