There is a quick and easy way to transcribe an audio message in the WhatsApp app. Just add the “Alfred The Transcriber” number. This is a computer program that automatically puts words in the audio notes received on WhatsApp. To take advantage of this tool, simply add the following number to your contacts: +14156809230. Save it under Alfred’s name if you like, or whatever name you like. Once you receive an audio message, forward it to your new contact. From that moment, a message appears in the conversation that indicates: “Alfred is writing”. In just a few seconds, you will receive your entire message. This way you will be able to know the content of any audio without having to open it in the app. Keep in mind that the tool works with audios with a maximum duration of 5 minutes. After two attempts, the tool can become chargeable. Then carefully keep your first two attempts. They can be very useful to you.

Finally, transcription is not a native WhatsApp feature, so a third-party app can be installed to accomplish this. It is possible to download the “Transcriber for WhatsApp” application from the Play Store. It is only available for Android. You can then use the share feature to send the voice message to be transcribed. However, you need to authorize access to your phone storage beforehand. Once shared, the voice message appears as text that can then be copied, shared, or translated using Google Translate. Please note that this type of application is based on advertising that may be binding at the time of use.
