Transcribe a WhatsApp recording
WhatsApp (Voice messages). WhatsApp voice notes are Opus audio; exporting a chat (or sharing a single note) saves them as .opus files. Once you have the file, Whipscribe turns it into a clean transcript with speaker labels and per-word timestamps, exportable to TXT, SRT, VTT, or DOCX — no conversion required, and nothing ever leaves our private infrastructure for a third-party AI service.
