Voice messages

Voice messages to text: Telegram and WhatsApp on your PC

To turn a voice message into text on your computer, save it from Telegram or WhatsApp and open it in SweetWhisper. It’s transcribed right on your PC, offline, and you can do a whole batch at once.

Download for Windows

File transcription is part of Pro: free for the first 14 days after you install, then a one-time purchase — no subscription. What Pro includes

How it works

  1. Save the voice message

    In Telegram Desktop, right-click the message and choose “Save As…” — you get an .ogg file.

  2. Or bring it over from your phone

    Telegram voice messages saved on a phone are .oga, WhatsApp ones are .opus. Export the chat with media, or just send the file to your computer.

  3. Open it in SweetWhisper

    Tray or floating-bar menu → “Transcribe from files”. Pick one message or a whole batch.

  4. Get the text

    The text shows up in the result window: copy it or paste it into another app. A .txt is saved next to the file.

Why not just use the messenger?
