Tired of typing long messages on WhatsApp Web? With Voice Typing for WhatsApp™, you can dictate your messages using your voice, making communication faster and easier.

How it works:

Click the button to open the "Voice to Text" modal and start recording.
As you speak, your words are transcribed into text in real-time. The animated waveform shows that the extension is listening.
When you're done, simply stop the recording. Your transcribed text is ready to be copied and pasted into your chat.
