WhatsApp’s latest update is perfect for those too lazy to type lengthy messages.[br][br][br]The new feature is known as Speech-to-text, which allows you communicate into your mobile's microphone – then translates it into text.[br][br]The feature already exists on virtual assistants like Apple's Siri or Google Assistant, what's new is that WhatsApp will introduce a new mic icon on the keyboard for easy accessibility.[br][br]The upgrade will be a godsend to those on the move when it can be tricky to physically tap out conversations.[br][br]Typing is usually slower when there is a lot of information to convey. And this explains which why the WhatsApp voice message option is so popular.[br][br]However many dislike receiving voice messages, as they can be inconvenient to listen to. So WhatsApp has now helpfully provided a speech-to-text feature to transform speech into text.[br][br]WhatsApp Dictation is available on both iPhone and Android.[br][br]How to Use WhatsApp Speech-to-text[br]Firstly, open your WhatsApp.[br][br][ul][li]Open a chat with the contact you want to speak to[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Open up the chat keyboard, where you'd normally type messages[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Look for a microphone icon (not the one next to the chat bar): on Android, it's black and in the top right, and on iPhone, it's in the very bottom right of the screen[br][/li][/ul]If you want a comma and a question mark, simply say "comma" or "question mark" out loud. It's the same story for adding "full stop".[br][br]Once you've finished your message, check it over and then hit send.[br][br]When you're speaking into the microphone, remember to talk clearly and enunciate words – as turning speech into text is very tricky for apps.[br][br]It's also best to dictate your message in a quiet place, to give your microphone the best chance of picking up your words.[br][br]You can always edit your dictated message before you send it anyway, to correct any typos that may appear.
