WAAudioToText setup guide
Set Up WAAudioToText in WhatsApp Web
Follow four clear steps to open WAAudioToText, choose your languages, configure automatic or on-demand audio transcription and understand the available controls.
Step 1
Open WhatsApp Web and sign in
Open WhatsApp Web in Chrome and connect your WhatsApp account. WAAudioToText runs inside the WhatsApp Web interface, so keep the tab open while using transcription and translation.

Step 2
Find WAAudioToText and choose your languages
Use the WAAudioToText controls in WhatsApp Web to choose the incoming source language and the language you want to read. You can reopen the feature tour whenever you need a quick orientation.
Step 3
Enable the workflow you need
Turn on incoming translation before audio-message translation. When both are enabled, supported audio visible in the conversation can be transcribed automatically. Use independent chat settings when one conversation needs different preferences.

Step 4
Transcribe, translate and continue the conversation
With automatic processing enabled, supported audio is transcribed without a separate click. Otherwise, select the audio-to-text action beside one message, read the transcript and translate it when needed.
AI conversation summary is a separate Max feature that uses recent supported text messages and media captions. It does not use audio to create a summary.
