I made this app for myself to transcribe WhatsApp voice notes.
I built this app basically because I got tired of listening to long voice messages in places where I couldn't use headphones or play audio out loud (work, train etc.).
The core idea is: long-press a voice note in WhatsApp, share it to the app, read the transcript in an overlay Sheet directly over the app, without switching apps or triggering read receipts (that wasnt my focus but its a nice side effect). Same thing works with Telegram, Signal, Instagram, audio files, whatever you use.
I worked on it like 2 years i think, on and off of course, but have been polishing it to a point i now got it to the playstore. I know im not the only person who could benefit from this app i see a lot of people holding their phone on low volume to the ear and it always looks so goofy to me.
It's completely free to use. Free tier, at the moment, gets you 20 transcription minutes per month (enough for most people id say), and there's a Pro option for way more transcriptions, AI summaries, and translation.
I made it primarily for myself, but if you get a lot of voice messages and have been wishing someone would just text you instead, this might save you some trouble.
Happy to answer questions about how it works or what I learned building it.
If you wanna try it just Search for Transcribe IT
Im happy with it for myself but id be even happier if people tried it out for themselfes :) Feedback also always welcome, i know its not perfect!
