How to

Three ways to get a WhatsApp voice note into MeetNotes

01

Share it (Android)

In WhatsApp, long-press the voice note or audio, tap Share, and pick MeetNotes. Several at once work too; each becomes its own transcript.

02

Import it (iPhone)

Save the audio as a file first, for example to the Files app, then open MeetNotes, tap Import and choose it.

03

Record it yourself

If you are about to record a long voice note for someone, record it in MeetNotes instead and send them the text or a PDF.

WhatsApp voice notes arrive as OPUS or OGG files, which MeetNotes accepts along with MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, FLAC and video files, up to 300 MB each. More on files: audio to text.

What comes back

More than a transcript

Who said what

A forwarded meeting recording or a group call gets each line labelled by voice. Name a voice once and it is recognised in later recordings.

Summary, decisions and to-dos

The two instructions buried in a four-minute voice note come out as a list, with an owner and a date when someone said one.

Any language, or several

No language to choose first. Voice notes that switch between Hindi and English, or Spanish and English, are transcribed as spoken.

Send it back as text

Copy the text for WhatsApp, or share a PDF, a Word file or a link. The person you send it to needs no app and no account.

Honestly

When WhatsApp alone is enough

WhatsApp has its own voice message transcripts on some devices and in some languages (Settings, then Chats, then Voice message transcripts, per the WhatsApp Help Center, checked 27 Sep 2026). If you only need to read one short message, try that first. MeetNotes is for voice notes you need to act on or keep: long ones, forwarded meeting recordings, notes in mixed languages, and anything you want summarised, searched later or sent on as a document.
