Transcribe WhatsApp voice messages to text

In Tailwind Inbox, WhatsApp and Telegram voice messages appear as text right in the chat bubble. You read them in seconds instead of listening – on the train, in a meeting or without headphones.

How it works

When a voice message arrives, Tailwind Inbox transcribes it. The text appears below the recording; you can still play it. No forwarding, no bot in your chat.

The transcript also shows in the push notification, so you know what it's about from the lock screen.

Swiss German, too

Voice messages in Swiss German are written out as readable standard German. Messages in English or other languages stay in their language.

Privacy

For transcription the recording is sent to OpenAI (USA); we don't store the recording itself. The transcript stays on our server in Switzerland for 90 days so it doesn't have to be created again.

And the other way round: dictate

You don't have to type replies. Say what the reply should cover and Tailwind Inbox turns it into a finished message in your style.
