Every voice message in the chat, downloaded as text in one file.
Upload the WhatsApp export once. Each voice message is written out where it was sent, and the whole conversation downloads as text, with the sender and the time on every line. You can skip the summary if all you need is the words.
- Photos stay on your device; from a video, only the audio track your browser extracts is sent.

Hey, about yesterday's meeting: I think we should go with the second option for the homepage. Yeah, the second one.

Deal, I liked that one better too. Can you send me the Figma link? I want to show Sarah before our call tomorrow at three.

How it works
Export with media
In WhatsApp, export the chat and pick the option that includes media. That is what puts the voice messages inside the .zip.
Upload the ZIP
See the exact price on the upload screen. Unlock the full conversation only when it is worth it.
Download the text
Download the conversation as a .txt file, a web page or a PDF. Each transcript sits where its recording was sent.
What you get
One file you can read, search and quote, instead of a folder of recordings. Before you pay, the price screen writes out one of your own voice messages for free, so you can play it and check the text.
The whole conversation as text
Written messages and transcribed ones, in the order they were sent.
- In order — each transcript appears at the moment its recording was sent, between the messages around it.
- Labeled — every line carries the date, the time and the name of the person who sent it.
- Three formats — plain .txt, a web page or a PDF, all built from the same conversation.
Only the text, if that is all you need
Transcription is the job. The rest is optional.
Nothing asks you to read a summary or to ask the conversation a question. Upload the export, let the voice messages be written out, and download the file. The summary and the follow-up chat stay in your account if the conversation needs them later.
Key benefits
Every voice message in the export, written out from a single upload
One file to download, not one transcript per recording
Each line stamped with its date, time and sender
Each transcript kept in the language it was spoken in
Plain .txt, a web page or a PDF of the same conversation
OPUS, OGG, M4A, MP3, AAC and WAV read as they are, with nothing to convert
Use cases

Privacy and security
Parsing happens in your browser; only what is needed for analysis is sent.

Photos, video files, and their visual content never leave your device. For transcription, we send chat text and the audio of every voice message, including the audio track your browser extracts from each video.
