Voice notes, in readable form.

When hearing is hard, a voice note is a sealed message. It sits there in the chat with its duration on display, and everyone acts like that's convenient. Abrège Bot opens it back up: forward it, and it comes back as clear text in the same thread. The message becomes a message again.

Who this actually helps

Deaf and hard-of-hearing people. Read what people send you, directly, without asking someone close to play interpreter. That's autonomy back on an everyday gesture — and nobody in the conversation has to change how they talk.

When hearing fades with age. Fast, choppy voice notes recorded in noisy places become work. Text reads at your own pace. It scales up, rereads, doesn't run away.

Listening fatigue, tinnitus. Some days you just don't have the ears for a four-minute monologue. Text lets you rest your hearing without losing the information — or the person.

Built to stay simple

No special app, no hardware, no settings. The bot lives in WhatsApp, and the gesture — forwarding a message — is already familiar. The text arrives structured, essentials first. And since every summary includes a ready-to-send reply, answering in writing takes ten seconds, even when the other person only ever speaks.

The content stays between you

A voice note from someone close is intimate. The bot processes it, then deletes everything: the audio, the text, the summary. Nothing is kept, nothing is read by anyone. The full workings are described in the privacy policy.
