Text out.

We love your voice.
Just not 6 minutes of it.
How it works
Three steps. One of them is yours.
01
Link your WhatsApp
Scan a QR code once, the same way you link WhatsApp Web. That's the entire setup.
02
A voice note arrives
Someone sends you 4 minutes and 32 seconds of stream-of-consciousness. You do nothing.
03
Text lands in the chat
Seconds later the transcript appears right in the conversation, readable, searchable, copy-pasteable.
Built for the voice-note tired.
Live transcript
"…and that's why I think we should just take the night train, it's honestly cheaper if you book before Friday"
Every word, in writing, while the sender is still talking to their windshield.
Speed
~20s
our target from voice note to readable text

300 minutes, sent + received notes, every language, audio never stored.
Fair questions.
Is this legal?
TxtPlease connects to your account through WhatsApp's multi-device linking, the same mechanism WhatsApp Web uses. You scan a QR code once, and transcripts arrive as normal messages. More detail in the FAQ.
What about my aunt's 9-minute updates?
Those are exactly what we built this for. Long notes become readable text, and on the Pro plan you also get a short summary with the bits that matter: dinner is at 8, the green one was right.
Doesn't WhatsApp already transcribe voice notes?
It can, if you long-press every single message, your language is supported on your device (German on Android isn't, in 2026), and the transcript doesn't come back "unavailable". TxtPlease is automatic, works in 90+ languages, and covers sent notes too. Full comparison here.
What happens to the audio?
It gets transcribed, then deleted. Within seconds. We never store voice messages or transcripts, and nothing is used for training.
txt, please.
