The voice message transcription tool is one of the new features that WhatsApp, an app owned by Meta, is working on for its customers.
WABetaInfo has observed the feature in WhatsApp‘s most recent iOS and Android beta versions.
The technology, anticipated to come soon, would let users convert voice messages into text, offering many people a practical, time-saving option.
This feature can potentially expedite significant communication, especially for those receiving long voice messages.
The ability to read transcribed messages could also be helpful in noisy circumstances or when doing other activities, like listening to music.
A screenshot released by WABetaInfo suggests that installing an extra 150 MB of app data may be necessary to activate WhatsApp transcripts.
The app highlights the end-to-end encryption for privacy and says that the device’s speech recognition skills would be used to allow this feature.
The feature’s inclusion in the most recent beta versions indicates that, despite the lack of an official launch date, it might soon be made publicly available in the next stable release of WhatsApp.
