WhatsApp is slowly and steadily copying the features of Telegram and now it has brought another feature of Telegram to its messenger. This time, the conversion of voice or voice message to text is the latest copy of WhatsApp from its rival Telegram!
The popular messenger WhatsApp is adding a feature that will allow users to convert voice messages to text. So, if you are one of those who don’t have the patience to listen to long voices, you will be able to convert voice messages into text in the near future. Of course, in the beginning, this feature may not be in Persian language.
Ability to convert voice to text in WhatsApp
The WABetaInfo website is one of the best resources in the world in the field of disclosing the new features of WhatsApp, which has now revealed the latest feature of this messenger, which is to convert voice or voice messages into text messages. As it is clear from the name of this feature, by activating it, you can see it as a text without having to listen to a voice message. This feature is currently in beta mode and users can use it with many restrictions.
For example, converting voice to text in WhatsApp currently only works if the words are accurately recognized and the language the speaker is speaking is the same as the language specified by the user. The remarkable thing about this feature is its high security. WhatsApp does not send voice messages to Google, Apple or Meta servers for conversion to text, and this conversion takes place on the user’s smartphone.
Currently, the new WhatsApp feature is only available in the beta version released for iOS users, and Android users will have to wait. Also, no time has been announced for the release of a stable version of this feature. Telegram has also included this attractive feature for some time and users can convert it to text without having to listen to voices.
Of course, this feature in Telegram is not available for all users and you must be among the premium users of this app. On the other hand, in WhatsApp, this feature will be available for free to all users, and you will not need to pay to use it.
Due to the fierce competition between WhatsApp and Telegram, maybe in the near future and with the free release of the ability to convert voice to text in WhatsApp, Telegram will remove this feature from the premium mode and offer it to all users.
