Desire to Listen to Voice Notes? Voice Message Transcripts Are Available Through WhatsApp

"To help you keep up with conversations no matter what you're doing," voice messages on WhatsApp can now be converted to text.

New Delhi: WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, has added a function that allows voice messages to be converted into text, "to help you keep up with conversations no matter what you're doing."

Over the next several weeks, transcripts will be made available worldwide in a limited number of languages. The business intends to add more languages in the upcoming months.

WhatsApp claimed in a blog post that voice messaging adds a personal touch to communication with friends and family.

Hearing your loved one's voice, even if they live far away, is a unique experience. However, there are instances when you're moving, in a noisy environment, or you get a lengthy voicemail that you simply can't stop to listen to," the social media business continued.

"We're excited to introduce voice message transcripts" at those times. To ensure that no one else, not even WhatsApp, may hear or read your private messages, transcripts are created on your smartphone.

To activate this feature, simply select your preferred transcript language and toggle transcriptions on or off by going to Settings, Chats, and then Voice message transcripts.

"You can transcribe a voice message by touching on 'transcribe' after long pressing the message. We can't wait to improve and streamline this experience more," WhatsApp stated.

The Message Drafts feature, which was just released by the Meta-owned startup, tackles a common problem: forgetting to send an incomplete message.

WhatsApp now prominently labels a chat as "Draft" and places it at the top of your list of chats when you begin typing but do not press "send." According to the firm, this guarantees that you can easily find and finish your messages without having to wade through several discussions.
