Listening to WhatsApp audio recordings is not always practical, and one way to send audio without actually listening to that audio is to use WhatsApp. Suppose you are in a meeting, in a noisy environment, or prefer to read rather than listen.
KaptionAI has a solution that removes all the hassle of transcribing WhatsApp audio messages into text. Below are step-by-step instructions on how to use it.
How to Use KaptionAI to Transcribe WhatsApp Chats
- Visit the Chrome Web Store.
- Search for KaptionAI.
- Click Add to Chrome to install it.
- Open WhatsApp Web in your browser.
- Sync your phone with WhatsApp Web:
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.

- Open a chat with the voice message you want to transcribe.
- Click the Aa button (added by KaptionAI extension).

KaptionAI Benefits for WhatsApp Audio Transcriptions
Speed
Listening to a full-length audio message takes way longer than reading a transcription. They let you skip pauses and hesitations and get to the point.
Accessibility
KaptionAI makes audio messages more accessible for users with hearing difficulties or who favor text communication.
Convenience
Transcriptions let you hear the nuance of voice messages without listening when audio is impossible, for instance, in a meeting or elsewhere in a noisy place.
