A File-Based WhatsApp Audio Workflow

TalkToTextly works with the audio file you manually save or share. It is not a WhatsApp bot, extension, inbox reader, or account integration.

iPhone and iPad

Use WhatsApp's share options to save the voice message to Files, then select that saved audio file in the browser.

Android phones

Share the voice message to Files, Downloads, Drive, or your file manager, then choose the saved file from TalkToTextly.

Desktop exports

If the audio is saved on your computer, drag the file into TalkToTextly just like any other audio recording.

Common WhatsApp formats

OPUS, OGG, M4A, MP3, AAC, WebM, and similar audio files can be selected, subject to browser and device limits.

When WhatsApp Transcription Helps

Turning a voice message into text is useful when listening is inconvenient or when the message contains details you need to reuse.

Read instead of replaying

Skim a long voice message in a meeting, classroom, office, train, or other quiet place.

Keep a written record

Preserve addresses, instructions, appointment details, names, or project updates as searchable text.

Improve accessibility

Make voice messages easier to review for people who prefer reading or cannot listen at the moment.

Export for the next step

Copy the transcript or download TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX from the same browser session.
