WhatsApp has launched a new messaging feature that automatically converts voice/audio messages into text.
WhatsApp’s new feature is useful when you’re in a meeting and want to see your messages without disturbing the room, or when you don’t want others to hear your audio messages with you. This audio-to-speech feature is also helpful when someone is in a noisy environment and has difficulty hearing the audio. This new feature will be especially helpful for the deaf and hard of hearing. According to Web Beta Info Explaining the new feature, the WhatsApp blog says that voice messages can be recorded in text to help you stay on top of the conversation, no matter what you’re doing. The text will be created on your device so that no one, not even WhatsApp, can hear or read your private messages. Users can record voice messages by long-pressing on the message and tapping “Record.” While the feature is currently available in four languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Russian, WhatsApp said it plans to add more languages in the coming months. While ensuring user security and privacy, WhatsApp said that voice message recordings created on a user’s device are protected by end-to-end encryption. Also Read This Article
