Turn a WhatsApp voice note into text online for free with VoxCraft. Save the voice message from WhatsApp, upload it here, pick Urdu, Hindi or English, and get a transcript you can copy or download — no install and no account on the free tier.
Voice notes are quick to record and tedious to listen back to, especially long ones. A transcript lets you skim, search and quote the message without replaying it. It also helps when you can't play audio — in a meeting, on a train, or when a message is in a language you read better than you hear.
WhatsApp stores voice messages as Opus audio (usually .opus). VoxCraft reads them directly, so you don't need to convert first; if you'd like an MP3 copy as well, use Opus to MP3.
Treat the result as a draft. Accuracy depends on how clearly the person speaks, background noise and accent, and Urdu/Hindi mixed with English words is harder than one language at a time. Check names and numbers against the audio.
How it works
- In WhatsApp, long-press the voice message and save or share it to your files (the exact menu depends on your phone).
- Upload the file here (15MB max, 20MB with Pro).
- Choose the spoken language — Urdu and Hindi are listed first.
- Tap Transcribe, then copy the text or download it as a .txt file.

Tips for better results
- Choose the language that matches the speaker; it noticeably improves accuracy.

- Very long notes can be cut into parts with the trim tool.
