Remember that handy feature that converts incoming voice messages into text? It’s especially practical when you can’t listen to a message, or when you’re sharing things you don’t want everyone to overhear.
But what if your friends are the ones who can’t listen to voice messages, and you urgently need to send information? With the version 8.0.61 update, you can quickly convert your own voice to text and send it, without having to type it all out.
Plus, another crucial improvement is that voice-to-text conversions allow for editing before sending! This ensures the converted text accurately reflects what you want to say, which also corrects inaccuracies if the speech recognition isn’t perfect. Even when you’re in a hurry and can’t type a long message, this editing feature is also great for adjusting any accidental misstatements or grammatical errors you might make when speaking quickly.
Another circumstance is when a friend is excitedly sharing something fun, sending you a flurry of voice messages. As a slow typist, it might take you ages to draft a reply. Inadvertently, this makes your online interactions feel a bit cold or distant. Hence, this new feature not only speeds up your text communication by letting you avoid typing, but it also allows you to have some moment to think and edit before sending, which can often be more thoughtful than sending a direct voice message.
Whether you simply prefer text messages or your working environment is not conducive for voice messages, this feature will definitely make your conversations smoother and more convenient.
How to edit your voice-to-text messages:
- Open Any Chat.
- Tap the「Voice Message」icon, usually located at the bottom left of the chat interface.
- Tap「Hold to talk」and start talking. Do not release your finger, as doing so will send the voice message immediately.
- While still holding, swipe towards the「Convert to text」option.
- Once the green box appears, you can now edit the converted text. After making your desired changes, tap「Send」.
Important Notice: If you primarily use this feature for English language messages, ensure your app’s language setting is set to English. Find this under「Me」>「 Settings」>「General」>「Language」>「English」.
