WhatsApp will soon transcribe your voice messages


Finally, an easy way to skim through lengthy voice clips.

The feature is rolling out globally to Android and iOS users “in the coming weeks” according to WhatsApp, and will automatically create a text version of voice clips under the message for moments when you’re unable to listen to them. This finds a great balance between the pros and cons of voice messages, which are easier to record than typing out lengthy conversations but can be cumbersome to listen to, especially on the go or in loud environments. The feature will be disabled by default once it rolls out, and can be turned on by clicking on “Chats” within the WhatsApp settings, and then “Voice message transcripts.”
