WhatsApp announced on Thursday it\u2019s rolling out voice message transcripts. The Meta-owned company says the new feature will come in handy when you\u2019re on the move or in a loud place where you can\u2019t listen to a voice message. A similar feature was announced last year<\/a> for Apple\u2019s Message app, a top WhatsApp competitor, with the release of Apple\u2019s software update, iOS 17. <\/p>\n

With the new feature, voice messages can be transcribed into text to help you keep up with conversations when you\u2019re unable (or perhaps unwilling) to listen to a voice message. WhatsApp claims its transcripts are generated on your device and no one else can read them.<\/p>\n

To access the new WhatsApp feature, you need to go into your settings, select the \u201cChats\u201d section, and then tap \u201cVoice message transcripts\u201d to turn the feature on. From there, you can select your transcript language.<\/p>\n

After you turn the feature on, you can get a transcript for a voice message by long-pressing it and then tapping the \u201ctranscribe\u201d option. It will not automatically transcribe every message for you.<\/p>\n

Voice message transcripts are rolling out globally over the coming weeks in select languages, the company says. <\/p>\n

On iOS, the languages that are supported depend on your OS. If you have iOS 16+, the supported languages include English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Chinese, and Arabic. If you have iOS 17+, the supported languages include Danish, Finish, Malay, Norwegian, Dutch, Swedish, Hebrew, and Thai.<\/p>\n

If you have an Android, you can access transcripts in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp plans to add support for additional languages in the coming months. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
