WhatsApp voice to text on your computer

Which job do you want done?

People searching for "WhatsApp voice to text" usually want one of two things:

• Read a voice note someone sent you. Zefmi does not do this. WhatsApp has its own voice message transcripts on some devices: see WhatsApp's help page on voice message transcripts.
• Reply by voice, but send text. This is what Zefmi does, on your computer.

For other apps, see dictation in any app.

How do I reply by voice in WhatsApp Desktop or Web?

1. Open WhatsApp Desktop or WhatsApp Web on Windows.
2. Click in the message box.
3. Hold Alt+Space (changeable), say your reply, and let go.
4. Check the text and press Enter.

Zefmi types at the cursor by pasting, the way Ctrl+V does, so it works in any Windows app that accepts a paste. We have not yet published a per-app test list.

Why send text instead of a voice note?

Text is quicker to read, easy to search later, and works when the other person cannot play audio. You still get to speak instead of type.

Can I dictate in Cantonese or Mandarin?

On the US$5 plan you can speak Cantonese or Mandarin and Zefmi types Chinese characters. We have not tested which script you get; see Cantonese speech to text.

Does it work on my phone?

Not yet. Zefmi runs on Windows. Mac, iPhone and Android are coming.
