Your file never leaves your device. The first time, the voice model for the chosen mode is downloaded and saved in your browser, so it won't be downloaded again next time.

How to transcribe a WhatsApp audio

  1. Save the audio to your computer. In WhatsApp Web or the desktop app, open the voice message menu and choose “Download”. From your phone, you can share the audio with yourself, for example by email, and open it on your computer.
  2. Upload it here. Drag it into the box. WhatsApp audio files are usually .opus or .ogg, and they're read without converting them.
  3. Press “Transcribe”. In a few seconds you'll have the text, ready to copy or save.

Your conversations are private

Voice notes often contain personal things. That's why we store neither the audio nor the text, and you don't need to create an account or give your number. If you want the voice note to never leave your computer, choose “On your device”.

Works for Telegram and other apps too

Voice messages from Telegram, Signal or Instagram, and voice memos from iPhone or Android, are transcribed the same way. If it's an audio file, it works here.

Which mode to use

For short, clear voice notes, Hummingbird is the fastest and has the smallest download. If the audio has street noise or background music, use Lynx.

What if, instead of recording and transcribing, you dictated directly?

With Hablaki, you press a key, speak, and the text appears wherever your cursor is: in your email, in Word, in WhatsApp Web or in any app. Your voice never leaves your device. Try it free for 14 days, no card required.

Frequently asked questions

Does anyone else listen to the audio?

No. A machine transcribes it and it's deleted when it's done. With “On your device”, it doesn't even leave your computer.

What format are WhatsApp audios?

Usually .opus or .ogg. They're accepted as they are, without converting them to MP3.

Does it work with Telegram audio?

Yes. It also works with voice messages from other apps and with your phone's voice memos.

Can I transcribe several audios?

Yes, up to 5 a day, one after another. Each transcription is saved in your browser.

Can I do it from my phone?

It works on some recent phones, but it's much slower. For audio longer than a couple of minutes, use a computer.
