When WeChat won't let a voice message leave the chat
To transcribe a WeChat voice message in English or another language, record it rather than save it. WeChat has no option to save, export or share a received voice message on any device, so start your phone's screen recorder with sound on, play the message, and stop. Choose that recording here, pick the spoken language or let SeaMeet detect it, and press Transcribe.
The screen recording is a video file, and that is fine: only its audio track is taken from it in your browser and uploaded, and the size limit applies to that audio. The voice files WeChat caches inside the app are in formats the uploader can't read, which is why recording is the route that works.
WeChat's own Convert to Text reads Mandarin, English and Cantonese, and the text stays under the bubble in the chat. For a message in another language, or when you want to keep what was said beyond the conversation, a transcript made here lands in your library with speaker labels and a summary. WeChat for Windows and Mac can't save voice messages either, so do the recording on your phone.

Questions
How do I transcribe an English WeChat voice note?
Start your phone's screen recorder with sound on, play the WeChat voice message and stop recording. Choose the recording on this page, set the spoken language to English or keep detection on and press Transcribe, signing in free if the page asks. The transcript is saved in your library.
Can I save a WeChat voice message as a file?
No. WeChat's help covers sending voice messages, cancelling them, the time limit and Convert to Text, but offers no way to save or export one you received, on the phone or on the computer. A screen recording with sound is the route that gives you a file to upload.
Does WeChat's Convert to Text work in every language?
No. WeChat converts voice messages in Mandarin, English and Cantonese only, and the text appears inside the chat. For a voice message in another language, record it on your phone and upload the recording here, where you can choose the spoken language or let SeaMeet detect it.
Is my whole screen recording uploaded?
No. Only the audio track is taken from the video in your browser and uploaded, and the size limit applies to that audio. Start recording just before the voice message plays and stop when it ends, so the recording holds little else.
Can I transcribe WeChat voice messages for free?
Yes. A free account has 6 h of transcription in total, up to 10 files a day, and shows the first 15 min of each transcript, usually enough for a WeChat voice message. Sync Pro shows every transcript in full.
