Sending voice messages on WhatsApp adds a personal touch to communication, but there are times when listening isn't convenient. To address this, WhatsApp introduces voice message transcripts. This feature converts voice messages into text, allowing users to keep up with conversations regardless of their situation.

Key Features:

• Privacy: Transcripts are generated on the user's device, ensuring that no one, including WhatsApp, can access the content.
• Accessibility: Users can enable or disable transcriptions and select their preferred language via Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts.
• Ease of Use: To transcribe a voice message, long press the message and tap 'transcribe'.

Availability:

• The feature is rolling out globally over the coming weeks.
• Initially, only a few select languages are supported, with plans to add more languages in the future.

For more details on how the feature works and the supported languages, users can refer to additional resources provided by WhatsApp.
