WhatsApp is reportedly working on a new feature that will allow users to transcribe their voice messages on the application. According to reports, the feature is still under development and aims to enhance the user experience by offering language-specific transcription options. Users will have the ability to choose from languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, and Hindi, with potential for more languages to be added in the future.\n\nThe new feature will require users to download an additional 150MB of app data to enable the transcription process. It will be based on advanced speech recognition technology that works locally on the user’s device while maintaining end-to-end encryption. This feature will be particularly useful in situations where playing the voice recording is challenging.\n\nMoreover, WhatsApp is also planning to allow users to choose a language for voice transcripts, providing flexibility for users who communicate in different languages. This feature aims to improve accessibility and accuracy of transcriptions by utilizing language-specific speech recognition. Users will have the option to download language-specific packages to enable the transcriptions to be processed locally on their device.\n\nIn addition to the voice note transcription feature, WhatsApp has introduced three major calling features recently, including screen sharing with audio, increased participant count, and speaker spotlight. These features are designed to enhance communication and user experience on the platform. The MLow codec technology has also been implemented to improve call reliability, ensuring better audio and video quality even in low network areas.\n\nOverall, the upcoming voice note transcription feature in multiple languages is expected to make WhatsApp more user-friendly and accessible to a wider range of users, especially those who communicate in different languages. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new feature from WhatsApp.
