WhatsApp Unveils Voice Message Transcription Feature

WhatsApp is launching a new feature that transcribes voice messages into text, making it easier for users to read messages when they can't listen to them. This feature will be available globally for Android and iOS users in the coming weeks, with initial language support including English, Portuguese, Spanish, Russian, and Hindi. The transcription is done on-device to ensure privacy, and the feature can be enabled in the app's settings. Language support is expected to expand over time.
