From voice note to text in six steps. Everything happens on your own device unless you choose Quick mode or translation.
Pick Háusá, Ìgbò, Yorùbá or Nigerian English from the language button. Each has its own speech model, so choose the language people actually speak in the recording.
Tap the green mic to record, then Stop when you are done. To use a file you already have, such as a WhatsApp voice note, open the menu and choose Upload a recording.
Each language needs a one-time download, or choose No download (Quick mode) to have it transcribed on our server and deleted straight after. Choose Lite (203 MB, almost as accurate) or Full (287 MB, most accurate). Tap Download now on Wi-Fi if you can. If your connection drops, nothing is lost: it continues from where it stopped, and you can pause and resume any time.
With a voice pack, transcription happens on your own device, so your audio is never uploaded. When it finishes, it tells you how long it took. On a laptop a one-minute recording takes well under a minute; phones are slower. Keep the tab open.
Tap a time to play that part, and tap any line to correct it. Names, places and numbers are where mistakes happen most. Your changes save automatically.
Open the dropdown under the transcript and choose Translate (then the language) or Export (then copy the text, download a .txt file, or download a PDF with times and any translation). Translation sends the text, never the audio, and asks your permission the first time.
WhatsApp keeps voice notes inside the app, so save the voice note as a file first, then upload it here.
In the chat, press and hold the voice note, tap Share, then choose Files or Drive to save it. Come back here and upload it from the menu.
In the chat, press and hold the voice note, tap Forward, then the Share button, then Save to Files. Come back here and upload it from the menu.
Hover over the voice note, open its menu, and choose Download. Then upload the file here from the menu.
Ready? Your audio stays on your device.
