A 7-minute voice note lands in your chat and playing it out loud just isn't going to happen — you're in an open office, on a loud street, or your brain simply takes in text better than audio. Forward it to SpeedyAudios and read it instead.

Some places make listening impossible: meetings, public transport, a sleeping household. And some days, pressing play on a wall of sound is the last thing you can get yourself to do — a common experience for people with ADHD, where a wall of text you can skim, re-read and search is simply easier to act on than a rambling audio.
Here's the thing though: most voice notes aren't even yours. The audios people send to SpeedyAudios are overwhelmingly forwards — a friend's 6-minute update, a colleague who couldn't be bothered to type, a family member explaining the plan out loud. Someone else chose audio; you're the one who has to deal with it.
A transcript fixes that. You can skim it in seconds, search it later, copy the address or the number out of it, and reply in text like a normal person.
SpeedyAudios is a WhatsApp bot. No app, no account, no upload step — the voice note never leaves WhatsApp:
It handles any language (and audios that switch languages mid-recording), long recordings, and it's free to start.
iPhone: open the chat → long-press the voice note → Forward → tap the Share icon → pick SpeedyAudios.
Android: same drill — long-press the voice note → Forward → tap the Share icon → pick SpeedyAudios.
Desktop / WhatsApp Web: right-click the voice message → Forward message → click the arrow icon → pick SpeedyAudios.
The bot replies with the transcript right there in the chat, plus a text file you can save or share.
SpeedyAudios does not retain audios or transcripts after processing. The transcript is delivered to your WhatsApp chat — that's the only copy. Forwards are other people's words, and they stay between you and your chat.
