The old way is slow and expensive

Manual translation, hired voice actors, days of waiting. Creators and teams lose time and money on every single video.

Skip the old workflow

Why does transcribing my WhatsApp voice note in Swahili take 20 minutes and still miss half the names?

How do I get clean text from a noisy 3-minute WhatsApp audio with overlapping speakers and background traffic?

What if my WhatsApp audio is in Arabic but I need the transcript in English—and the free tool mangles the numbers and dates?

How It Works

Done in four simple steps

Upload, pick languages, and let the AI handle the rest. No software to install.

01

Upload your WhatsApp audio file (MP3, M4A, OPUS)

A few clicks, that is all.

02

Select source language (any of 90+), leave target blank

A few clicks, that is all.

03

Click 'Transcribe' — no translation or dubbing applied

A few clicks, that is all.

04

Download as plain TXT or time-coded SRT file

A few clicks, that is all.

I run a sourcing business and half my suppliers communicate by WhatsApp voice notes — sometimes 5-minute monologues in Mandarin about pricing and shipping. I used to replay each one twice, taking notes. Last month a client changed an order and the supplier's voice note was the only record. That's when I started running every important voice note through this transcriber. Now I forward the audio to myself, upload it, and get text in under a minute. I search old notes by keyword instead of replaying months of audio.

FAQ

Common questions

Does this work with WhatsApp voice messages forwarded as audio files?+

Yes — as long as the file is in MP3, M4A, or OPUS format and under typical WhatsApp size limits. Upload directly; no conversion needed. Output is TXT or SRT, with punctuation and speaker turns inferred where clear.

Can I transcribe a WhatsApp audio in Thai and get English text?+

This page only transcribes — it does not translate. For Thai-to-English, you’d use our translation feature separately after export. The TXT or SRT here reflects the original Thai speech only.

How accurate is transcription for fast or accented speech in WhatsApp clips?+

Accuracy varies by clarity, accent, and background noise. Most clear, single-speaker WhatsApp clips yield readable text. On longer files or heavy accents, expect occasional misheard words — human review is advised before sharing.

Is there a time limit on WhatsApp audio length?+

No fixed duration cap — but very long files may process slower and show more ASR gaps in overlapping or low-volume sections. Shorter WhatsApp voice notes (under 5 minutes) typically complete after a short pass.
