WhatsApp is working on a voice message transcription feature for the Android app. In the future, users should be able to read what is said in the voice message. This means that the content of the voice message can be accessed in the messenger even if the users are unable to listen to messages. The feature is already available in the iOS app. Now this should also come for Android devices, writes “WABetaInfo“.
The transcription feature appears in the Android 2.24.7.8 beta update, which is available on the Google Play Store. WhatsApp uses advanced speech recognition to convert spoken words into text. The new WhatsApp feature is particularly useful for people who have hearing problems. Even when the ambient noise is high, the message content can be accessed.
