If you use WhatsApp, now you are going to get a new and very exciting feature in it. Let us tell you about this new feature and also tell you how to activate and then use it in your WhatsApp.
WhatsApp has recently launched a new feature, which makes it easier to read voice messages. Under this feature, text transcription of voice messages will now be available, so you can read them instead of listening to them. This feature is available on both Android and iOS platforms and is especially helpful when you are in a busy environment or noisy place.
How does voice message transcription work? According to WhatsApp, the transcription is generated on-device and is completely private. This means that the message is processed only on your phone and WhatsApp cannot access it. This feature maintains WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption policy, thereby protecting your privacy.
How to enable the feature: Go to Settings > Chats. Turn on Voice Message Transcript and select your preferred language. Tap and hold a voice message, then tap the Transcribe option. To view the transcription in detail, tap the expand icon that appears on the message.
The feature is available in these languages This feature is available on iOS in many languages, such as English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, etc. At the same time, for Android users it is currently limited to only English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Hindi. Support for other languages is likely to be added in the future.
What to do when an error occurs? If you see a Transcript Unavailable error, there could be several reasons behind it:
No support for selected language Inability to recognize words correctly Too much background noise Voice message No support for language The company also advises that the transcript may not be completely accurate, so use it with caution. Now it remains to be seen how much Indian users like this new feature of WhatsApp.
