You are in a meeting and cannot listen to audio messages on the Whatsapp? Learn how to convert all those voice messages to text so you don't have to interrupt what you're doing to hear the audios. Shall we go to the tutorial?

Start transcribing right now

After downloading the transcribe on your smartphone Android on Google Play, just open the app on your smartphone. As soon as you receive an audio message via WhatsApp, just select the message, as if you were going to delete it.

After choosing the message you are going to transcribe, select the “Share” button on your cell phone. A window with several application options for you to send the audio will appear. Then, just select the icon of the Transcriber para or WhatsApp. 

The transcription will start right after you put the audio in the app and, in addition to reading what is being said in the audio in real time, the app saves all the transcribed audios in its own gallery. If you want to consult all your transcripts, just consult a list that it makes automatically.

But if you don't like this option, you can set it to not do it, and see your transcripts just once. In order to work, you will need an internet connection, as the application requires you to be connected to transcribe.

But that won't be a problem for you who are using the WhatsApp, because if you are receiving messages, it is because you have internet. You can also program your audios to be transcribed automatically, but you will have to pay R$ 14,99.

But what about on iPhone, can I transcribe too?

O Transcriber for WhatsApp It can now be downloaded normally by any Android user. But if you are a user of iOS, you may be thinking that it will not transcribe your audio messages.

Although not released to users of Apple, there is an application in App Store called Audio to Text for WhatsApp, made for owners of iPhone. Working in the same way as its “twin brother”, just press the message you want to transcribe and share in the app. 

More than just a WhatsApp add-on
