Turn WhatsApp voice note into text you can check and cite
Upload the file as it is — your browser prepares a compact audio copy before anything leaves your machine, and the editor plays the audio under every word.
What happens to your WhatsApp voice note file
WhatsApp voice notes are Opus audio in disguise. Export one with the share button (or find it in WhatsApp's media folder) and upload it as it is — journalists live off this workflow.
What every transcript includes
Speakers told apart
Each voice is labelled within the recording, so who-said-what survives into the text.
Timestamps to the second
Every word knows its moment, so quotes carry a citable time.
An editor that plays the audio
The audio plays from the word you're checking — fixing is listening, not scrubbing.
Translation included
Translate transcripts at no extra charge, where the language pair is supported.
Search that finds meaning
Lost the exact words? Search finds the passage by meaning, within your own workspace.
Private by architecture
Akoé runs only on EU-owned infrastructure — not the EU regions of overseas clouds. Your audio and transcript live together and are deleted together, on a schedule you choose; deleted means gone, backups included.
Your recordings are never used to train models, and transcript content never appears in our logs. The full picture, in plain language, is in our privacy notice.
Pay per file, not per month
No subscription. €5 per hour of audio, pro-rated to the second, with the exact price shown before you pay. Your first 5 minutes are free — spend them on a real recording, not a demo.
