Convert WhatsApp voice messages to text with Transcriber
Transcriber is an application developed by an Italian guy, free (supported by advertising) and currently in “preview access” (a sort of beta phase open to all). Its goal is quite simple as it is powerful: to transcribe WhatsApp voice messages in a very short time in order to understand their meaning without necessarily having to listen to them. So let’s see how it works.
- Download the Transcriber app for WhatsApp on your Android smartphone by clicking on this link
- Start it and complete the tutorial by always clicking on “DONE” at the bottom
- Open the WhatsApp app and access the conversation containing the voice message to be transcribed
- Press and hold on the speech bubble of the audio note
- Click on the share icon at the top right (characterized by three dots joined by two lines)
- Choose to share the note with “Transcriber for WhatsApp”
At this point the “Transcriber for WhatsApp” app will automatically start , which in a few moments will undertake to complete the transcription of the audio note in Italian. As already mentioned, however, it is still an application in the development and improvement phase, for this reason there may still be problems or unexpected errors .
Change Transcriber settings for WhatsApp
By opening the Transcriber application for WhatsApp , you can customize some settings useful for transcription and general use of the service. First, you can select the default language to use . Therefore, in the event that you often speak with users who use a language other than Italian, it will still be possible to take advantage of the features of the application. In addition, by adding a check mark to the right of the item “Choose the language before each transcription” , you can select the language to use before the app begins to do its duty.
Among other things, there will also be two other very interesting options to keep an eye on. The first is that relating to translation. In fact, the app, once the audio note has been converted, can also perform a quick translation into any language chosen previously. All through the service offered by Google Translate. The second, on the other hand, concerns the generation of a chronology , which will contain all the transcriptions previously performed. This can be activated or deactivated as desired.
