Have you ever had a long, exciting story to tell a friend, but didn't feel like making a phone call? Or maybe you knew they were in a place where they couldn't pick up?

While you could send a string of voice messages, it isn't always the most convenient option for the person on the other end. If they are in a noisy environment or a quiet meeting, they won't be able to listen right away. As the day goes on, those voice notes often go unread or forgotten, and the excitement of that "live" sharing moment simply disappears.

Typing it out is often the best alternative. But what if the story is just too long for your thumbs to keep up?

With WeChat Version 8.0.75, the new voice-to-text input feature makes it easy to draft longer messages with zero strain. Now, you can share your thoughts freely without the physical effort of typing every single word.

How to Use Voice Input

1. Open any chat and tap the "Keyboard" icon on the left side of the chat bar. It will switch to the "Voice Message" icon.

2. You will then notice a small "Microphone" icon appear on the right side of the chat bar. Tap it.

3. The icon will turn green, indicating that the app has started capturing and transcribing your voice in real-time.

4. Once you are finished, tap "Send". If you change your mind or want to stop the conversion, simply tap the "Microphone" icon again to turn it off.

Key Features

● Multilingual Support: The feature accurately detects English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, and can even handle a mix of all three in one go.

● Refine Your Message: Even if the microphone captures surrounding noise, you can still edit the text until you are satisfied before hitting send.

● Effortless Sharing: It bridges the gap between the speed of talking and the convenience of reading.

By using this tool, you can keep the "spark" of your story alive while respecting your friend's preference. No more struggling with a tiny keyboard—just speak it, and they can read it whenever they are ready.

Note: Ensure your messages align with our Community Guidelines to keep the chat experience safe for everyone.
