Facebook Messenger is one of the most used text messaging applications for iPhone or iPad, being the only one that allows us to chat with friends on the social network Facebook. Because the application is extremely popular, those from Facebook thought of implementing a new, extremely important function in the future.
According to the head of the division that develops Facebook Messenger within Facebook, David Marcus, the application will allow you to transcribe voice messages sent by our friends. More precisely, any voice message received from a person will be automatically converted into text directly in the application to allow us to read it when we cannot listen to it.
Today we are starting to roll out a small test that helps people read the voice clips they receive instead of having to play them out loud. So, for example, if you're at a concert or in a meeting, and would prefer to read a voice clip from a friend, you can now if you're part of the small test we're rolling out.
In the image above you can see how the new system will work, the texts of the transcribed messages being displayed directly in the bubble received for an audio message recorded by a friend. The new functionality of the application Facebook Messenger it is now being tested with a limited number of users, but the base will be expanded to give a larger number of people the opportunity to use it.
Those from Facebook have not specified the exact geographical regions in which they are testing the function, but if you have it available in the Facebook Messenger application, you will be able to try it now. Considering that we are talking about a function that is being tested within Facebook Messenger, no one knows when it will be officially offered to users around the world, so you will need patience if it will be useful.
