WhatsApp voice messages to text, in Hebrew

A WhatsApp voice note is an audio file, so it transcribes like any other: export the message, upload it, and read what it says. This is the fastest way to deal with a six-minute voice note in Hebrew when you cannot listen to it — and the free plan's 120 minutes a month cover a lot of voice notes.

Step by step

1. 1Export the message. Share or export the voice note from the chat and save the file.
2. 2Upload it. Drop the OPUS file in. Several notes from the same conversation can go in one after another.
3. 3Read it. The text comes back in Hebrew with timestamps. If two people recorded, they are separated.
4. 4Keep what matters. Export or copy the part you need; delete the rest.

Why voice notes transcribe well

A voice note is usually one person speaking straight into a phone held close to their mouth. That is the best case for any speech model: one voice, one microphone, no room. The hard cases are the ones recorded while driving, walking in the street, or in a noisy café — distance and background noise cost accuracy the same way they do in a meeting.

Hebrew voice notes specifically

Voice notes are the most informal Hebrew there is: half-sentences, slang, English words dropped in, and names. That is exactly the material a model trained on spoken Hebrew handles and a model trained on dictation does not. Expect the occasional name to come out wrong and check the ones that matter.
