WhatsApp introduces transcription feature: How to turn Voice Notes to text

WhatsApp has announced a new feature that lets users transcribe voice messages into text.

The new feature has been designed keeping in mind those times when users receive a voice note but cannot listen to it as they are on the move or in a loud place.

“Transcripts are generated on your device so that no one else, not even WhatsApp, can hear or read your personal messages,” the Meta-owned messaging giant said in a press release on Thursday, November 21. It is unclear if this means that the transcriptions are end-to-end encrypted.
