Technical News Office –If you use WhatsApp, you will now benefit from a very amazing new feature. Let us tell you about this new feature and also explain how to activate it in your WhatsApp and then how to use it. WhatsApp recently launched a new feature that makes reading voice messages even easier. With this feature, the text transcription of the voice message will now be available, so you can read it instead of listening to it. This feature is available on Android and iOS platforms and is especially useful when you are in a busy environment or a noisy location.
How does voicemail transcription work?
According to WhatsApp, the transcript is generated on the 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, which protects your privacy.
How to enable the feature:
Go to Settings > Discussions
Enable voicemail transcription and select your preferred language.
Long-press the voice message and then tap the Transcribe option.
To view the transcript in detail, tap the expand icon on the post.
Feature available in these languages
This feature is available in many languages on iOS, such as English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, etc. At the same time, for Android users, it is currently limited to English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian and Hindi. Support for other languages will likely be added in the future.
What to do when an error occurs?
If the Transcript Missing error appears, there could be several reasons for this.
No support for selected language.
Inability to recognize words correctly.
Too much noise in the background.
No voice message language support.
The Company also advises that the transcription may not be completely accurate, so use it with caution. It remains to be seen how much Indian users will appreciate this new WhatsApp feature.
