How to translate a voice record in WhatsApp

Translating voice recordings in WhatsApp is very helpful in our global world. WhatsApp doesn’t have a built-in translation feature for voice messages. But, there are easy ways to do this with third-party tools and apps. We’ll show you how to transcribe and translate WhatsApp voice messages. This makes talking across languages easier and faster. You can use text-to-speech tools or translation apps to get the job done. These methods help you understand and reply to voice messages in any language. It’s all about making communication smooth and clear, no matter where you are. To translate a voice recording in WhatsApp, you can use a combination of voice-to-text transcription tools and translation apps. Here’s how you can do it:
