WhatsApp tests voice message transcription for iPhone users: How will it help users – Times of India
WhatsApp voice message transcription: How will it work
The report also includes a screenshot that explains how this feature will work on iPhones. This feature will add transcriptions of the voice note to the message bubble. It will make it easier for users to read the message included in the voice note.
This feature will be enabled by default, however, users can also disable the feature from WhatsApp Settings > Chats > Voice Message Transcripts. Users need to note that this feature will preserve end-to-end encryption of the platform as the transcription process takes place locally on the user’s device. The feature will use downloaded language packs to transcribe voice messages.
The feature uses the latest APIs provided by iOS 16, so this ability will be available for some users on newer versions of iOS. These latest APIs will help the app to process the voice message locally on the user’s device, and WhatsApp doesn’t need to transfer the message to external servers.

The transcription feature will highlight where that text appears within the message.
