WhatsApp, an instant messaging app, has rolled out a new feature called voice message transcripts, that allows users to read voice messages as text. The feature will be available to Android and IOS users worldwide in the next few weeks.

As Whatsapp revealed a new feature, voice messages can now be transcribed into text to help you keep up with conversations no matter what you’re doing. It allows users to continue the conversation at the moment when he/she can read it instead.

This update aims to improve accessibility and privacy for users worldwide, the application statement said.

According to WhatsApp, the transcripts are created directly on your phone. This means no one else—not even WhatsApp—can hear or read your voice messages.

The feature can be activated from Settings > Chats > Voice message transcripts and transcript language can be changed from the settings. You can transcribe a voice message by long pressing on the message and tapping on ‘transcribe’.

Voice messages are great for staying connected, but they’re not always easy to listen to—like when you’re in a noisy place or too busy to press play. WhatsApp has a solution: voice message transcripts. This new feature lets you read voice messages instead of listening to them.
