WhatsApp users no longer need to worry about unreadable voice messages. The new feature allows users to quickly and easily transcribe voice messages, enabling them to read their received voice messages and notes privately and on the go.

The company said users will be able to develop a written form of the voice messages they receive instantly through this newly developed feature.

“For those moments we’re excited to introduce voice message transcripts. Voice messages can be transcribed into text to help you keep up with conversations no matter what you’re doing. Transcripts are generated on your device so that no one else, not even WhatsApp, can hear or read your personal messages,” WhatsApp stated.
