A voice note goes in. Useful text comes out.
You've got a voice note and you need text: to read it properly, paste it into a note, show it to someone. The internet offers two classics — install yet another app, or dig the audio file out of WhatsApp and upload it to some converter site. There's a third way: forward the voice note to Abrège Bot, inside WhatsApp, and get the text back in the same chat moments later.
Three ways to turn a voice note into text
The app. It wants an account, access to your files, and shows you an ad between two conversions. Meanwhile the voice note is still in WhatsApp — you get to shuttle back and forth.
The online converter. First you have to extract the audio file from the voice note — good luck on a phone — then upload someone else's voice to a stranger's server. For a private message, that's a lot.
The bot, inside WhatsApp. You forward the voice note like you'd forward it to a friend. No file wrangling, no account, no app. The text lands in the same chat. It's the move you already know.
Useful text, not a wall of words
Turning four minutes of audio into forty lines of verbatim just moves the problem. Abrège Bot sorts instead: you get the message in three points, the concrete facts — dates, amounts, questions asked — and a reply ready to send. And if you truly need the full word-for-word of a short voice note, WhatsApp's built-in transcription does that well. Different jobs.
Forwarded voice notes are the whole point
Most tools trip on one detail: convert someone else's voice note and their "I" ends up in your text as if it were you. Abrège Bot knows who's talking. The text tells you what the person wants — not what "you" want. It works the same for voice notes piling up in a group chat.
Where does the audio go?
Nowhere. The voice note is processed, then deleted — neither the audio nor the text is kept, and none of it trains anything. The full path is described in the privacy policy.

Convert my first voice noteFrequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app or sign up?
No. Everything happens in WhatsApp, the one you already have. Add +33 6 52 05 04 26 to your contacts, forward your voice note, and your first 5 voice notes are free — no card.
Do I have to extract the audio file first?
No. You forward the voice note inside WhatsApp, the same way you would forward it to a contact. Nothing to export, nothing to upload, nothing to convert yourself.
Do I get the full word-for-word transcript or the gist?
The gist, structured: the message in three points, the concrete facts, and a suggested reply. If you want the full verbatim of a short voice note, WhatsApp's built-in feature does it well — here's the comparison.
Is there a length limit?
15 minutes per voice note. Past that, the bot asks for a shorter clip.
