How to get the voice note out of WhatsApp
On Android, press and hold the voice message, tap Share, and save it to Files or send it to yourself. On iPhone, press and hold the message, tap Forward, then the share icon, and choose Save to Files.
On WhatsApp Desktop or Web, voice notes can be downloaded from the message menu. The file usually ends in .opus or .ogg, which this tool opens in Chrome and Edge.
Why do it here
Voice notes are often personal. Here they are processed on your own device, so the recording is never uploaded to a transcription service.
Questions
My file won't open. What can I do?
Some browsers, especially Safari, can't read .opus files. Use Chrome or Edge, or convert the file to MP3 first.
Does it work for other languages?
Yes, around 100 languages. Choose the spoken language for the best result.
Is the voice note stored anywhere?
No. It stays on your device.
