WhatsApp adds voice message transcriptions

Transcriptions of voice messages on WhatsApp

A few days ago WhatsApp announced the launch of personalized lists with which users could improve the organization of their chats. All these new features have been launched after testing by users enrolled in the messaging service's beta program. Today, WhatsApp has surprised with the Voicemail transcripts released and with very good news: supports Spanish. And it is a surprise because normally these novelties methodologies They always tend to leave Spanish in the background. We tell you what this function consists of and how to activate it.

Voice message transcriptions are coming to WhatsApp

Many times we are in a place where we cannot listen to notes or voice messages and we have friends or family who do nothing but send them to us. This is a problem because We would like to know the content of the message without having to reproduce it. And the solution, we have often imagined, would be a transcription of these messages. That wish has now become a reality.

WhatsApp has announced on its official website the launch of transcribing voice messages directly from the application itself. In fact, the company justifies this function in this way:

Voice messages allow you to connect with friends and family in an even more personal way. Hearing the voice of a loved one, even when you're far away, has a special charm. However, sometimes we're in the middle of an activity in a noisy place or receive a long voice message and we just can't stop to listen to it.

For times like these, we're excited to introduce voicemail transcriptions. Voicemails you receive can be transcribed to text so you can participate in conversations no matter what you're doing.

This function will be rolled out across the world in the coming weeks But for now we are calm because it is compatible with English, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. When we have activated the function and start using it, we will have to select a voice message and click on Transcribe. At that point, the text will appear just below the audio, as you can see in the image at the top of this article.
