We’ve all been there, trying to listen to a lengthy voice message on WhatsApp but without the means or the time to do so. But the wait is finally over, as WhatsApp is introducing a new transcription feature for audio messages. This innovative addition to the app’s latest iOS beta version (23.3.0.73) makes communication more accessible and convenient for users.
As reported by WABetaInfo, this feature is still under development and not yet visible to users. However, the publication was able to uncover the introduction screen, which highlights when transcriptions may not be available. The feature supports multiple languages and requires users to manually select the language for accurate transcription.
One of the key benefits of this feature is that it operates locally on the device, ensuring your transcriptions remain private.
There is no official launch date for this exciting feature yet, but it’s a positive sign to see WhatsApp continuously working towards improving communication for its users. This isn’t the first time the audio transcription feature has been in the news, as WABetaInfo shared a demonstration video back in September 2021. Now, it’s finally becoming a reality, bridging the gap in communication.
