- Google Chat is rolling out a new feature that automatically transcribes voice messages.
- Users can view or hide transcriptions, with screen readers also supporting the feature.
- The rollout begins today for all Google Workspace and Workspace Individual users across Android, iOS, and web platforms.
Google is further enhancing Google Chat, its messaging platform aimed at businesses and organizations, with a new voice message transcription feature. This update follows the introduction of voice messages earlier this year, continuing the evolution of the app, which succeeded the now-defunct Google Hangouts.
This new feature, announced today, automatically transcribes voice messages into text, bringing it in line with transcription capabilities found in other Google products like Google Meet.
