We all have a friend who thinks WhatsApp audio is a podcast. And if you don’t have it, that person is you. This function of the messaging application is really useful and practical… almost always.
It catches you lazy and not wanting to write, or with your hands full while you’re walking down the street. Sending a voice note is very convenient. But receiving it is not always a pleasure. Sometimes we like to hear the voice of the other person and listen to them while they tell us the story in question.
But other times you would prefer to just read the content directly. Your friend is one of those who speaks very slowly or leaves silence between sentences while he sends you the recording. Or maybe he catches you in the office or the library and you don’t want to hear it out loud. No problem! Because there is a bot that comes to your rescue.
What is a bot?
First of all, we are going to explain what a bot is. It is a kind of robot, an automated program that processes instructions that follow the same repetitive pattern. Through machine learning –machine learning–, the bot processes the information to obtain a specific result.
Some work automatically once they have been configured, while others are managed manually by people. Some are negative, considered spam. But others provide really interesting features.

How to ask a bot to transcribe a WhatsApp audio
We introduce you to Transcriberz. A bot that takes care of transcribing your WhatsApp audios so you don’t have to listen to them. It is a totally free service, created by third parties, that does not require the installation of any program or application. In addition, it works for both the mobile and the web version of the platform.
The first thing you have to do is add the phone number +14156809230 to your contact list and save it with the name you want, as long as you remember and identify it. Next, go to the conversation where you received the audio you want the bot to transcribe.
Long press that voice message and a menu of options will be displayed. Select ‘forward’ and your contact list will open in WhatsApp. Now, look for the name with which you have saved the bot in your address book and forward the audio to it.
In a matter of seconds, it will reply to the same message with the transcript of the message. You’ll also likely get a message from the team behind this bot suggesting you make a voluntary donation, but it’s not required and you can ignore it.

Precautions when using the bot that transcribes WhatsApp audio
You have to take into account that this bot only transcribes boz messages with a duration of less than 60 seconds. Sorry, if you have been sent a radio program in audio format, you will have no choice but to play it (of course you can always use the accelerated speed).
On the other hand, remember that you are sharing your message with a bot and you do not know who is behind it. Accordingly, you should not forward messages that you believe may contain private or sensitive information.
