Today WhatsApp surprised with the distribution of transcriptions of voice messages and with very good news: It is compatible with Spanish. And it's a surprise because usually these news innovative They always tend to leave Spanish in the background. We explain what this function is and how to activate it.
Voicemail transcriptions arrive on WhatsApp
Often we are in a place where we can't hear voice notes or messages and we have friends or family who just 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, which we have often imagined, would involve a transcription of these messages. This wish has already come true.
WhatsApp announced on its official website the launch of directly transcribe voice messages from the application itself. In fact, the company justifies this feature as follows:
Voice messages allow you to communicate with friends and family in an even more personal way. Hearing the voice of a loved one, even when you are far away, has a special charm. However, sometimes we are in the middle of an activity in a noisy place or we receive a long voicemail and we simply cannot stop to listen to it.
For times like this, we are happy to present voicemail transcriptions to you. Voice messages you receive can be transcribed to text so you can participate in conversations no matter what you're doing.
This function It will be deployed worldwide in the coming weeks but for the moment we are calm since 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.
