WhatsaApp has introduced a new transcription feature that allows users to read the contents of their voice messages without ever needing to open them. The new voice transcripts feature is bound in come in handy in places where there is a lot of noise or when the receiver is in a busy meeting. WhatsApp says the voice transcript feature is rolling out globally from today and will be available to all users over the coming weeks.
How does Voice transcript work? WhatsApp doesn't go into detail on if the company is using AI to transcribe voice into text. However, the Meta owned personal messaging app does reveal that Transcripts are generated on device and the voice messages remain end to end encrypted, meaning no one including WhatsApp can listen to the voice messages. Moreover, while the company notes that Voice Transcript feature is only available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian to begin with.
I noticed in the beta version of the application, there is already an option to turn Hind voice messages into texts. How to turn voice messages into text? Voice transcript feature is turned off by default, meaning one needs to go into the settings and enable it in order to turn voice messages into text. 1) Go to WhatsApp settings and tap on Chats 2) Scroll down and click on voice message transcripts toggle 3) Choose from a list of available languages 4) You will be asked to download the language package to enable the voice transcript feature by default.
