About the file WhatsApp gives you

  • WhatsApp voice notes are OPUS audio, usually in an .opus or .ogg file. Both work here as they are; there is no need to convert first.
  • Sound quality is low by design, which is fine for speech. Clear talking transcribes well; a note recorded in a noisy street less so.
  • More than 50 languages are detected automatically, including Hindi, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic.

What you get

  • The full transcript on the page, with timestamps beside every line and a switch that hides them for a clean read.
  • Copy in one click, or download TXT for notes and SRT or VTT for captions.
  • Files and transcripts are deleted within 24 hours.
