WhatsApp New Feature: This New Transcription Feature Will Turn Audio Notes To Text Automatically

WhatsApp has announced that its Voice Note Transcript feature will be made available to users worldwide in the coming weeks.

Meta-owned WhatsApp constantly tries to come up with new features and updates with the aim of enhancing the overall user experience. WhatsApp has now announced a new feature which will allow users to transcribe audio messages into text. If you're wondering about why was it needed then imagine a situation when you're sitting in a formal setting and you get an urgent audio message. Now, you can't play it there in the room but the message might be important so you can't miss it either. In such scenarios, this new WhatsApp feature will help you out by converting that voice note into pointers. 

WhatsApp in a press release said, “Transcripts are generated on your device so that no one else, not even WhatsApp, can hear or read your personal messages." It is crucial to mention that at the moment it is unclear whether the transcriptions will be end-to-end encrypted or not.

WhatsApp has announced that its Voice Note Transcript feature will be made available to users worldwide in the coming weeks. Initially, the feature will support only a limited number of languages, though the company has not specified which ones. Additionally, WhatsApp has not confirmed whether the transcripts are generated using AI technology.

WhatsApp New Feature: How To Use

To use the transcript feature, users need to activate it by navigating to WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts. Here, they can toggle the transcription feature on or off and choose the language for transcribing voice notes.

After enabling the feature, users can create a transcript of a voice note by long-pressing the message and selecting the ‘Transcribe’ option from the pop-up menu.

Other New Features

Earlier this month, WhatsApp rolled out another convenient feature: the ability to automatically save unfinished messages as drafts. This ensures you can easily continue from where you left off, with a draft indicator to remind you of incomplete messages upon reopening the app.

Make sure to update to the latest version of WhatsApp to enjoy these new functionalities.
