Summary | Many people love voice messages because they just quickly want to share something that needs to be told rather than transformed into text. But it is not possible to listen to voice messages in all social situations like in a lecture. Now there are apps to help with that: textify and textr can transform voice messages into text so that one can discretely get the message if one cannot listen to it right then and there. The apps work for WhatsApp and most other similar messaging apps.
