The Internet has made millions of people around the world do two things that, until 25 years ago, were tasks that were limited to a few: those who sent letters to family and friends on a regular basis and those who read books or newspapers. If you were not within those two groups, nor did you have the need to put two words together and much less to read them.

With the advent of the internet and smartphones, suddenly We are all writers (better or worse) and readers. Also at all hours: we write WhatsApp messages, we comment on social networks or wherever. And with reading the same: we do not stop reading what people or the media write, in newspapers and web pages that keep us informed practically to the minute.

Forget typing and talking

Thus, WhatsApp has decided that It’s time to put aside that of leaving our fingertips writing on the on-screen keyboard. That almost better to entrust the writing to the own app that, like the old bosses dictating the letters, he will write (perhaps) better than us and in a faster and more automatic way. Especially if we want to write a good billet.

According to WABetaInfo account, WhatsApp already has within one of its latest beta versions a specific option to transcribe text from our voice, in such a way that by pressing the button and speaking we will have what we want to say written in the dialog box. You will think that why a tool like this is needed, especially if we take into account that the Google and Apple keyboards already have something similar, but then we would have to ask the Facebook ones.

The question that can assail users is the same as always: Can those audios end up on the WhatsApp servers for further analysis and always with the old excuse of helping to improve speech recognition technology? As always, it will be necessary to carry out an act of faith, hoping that everything we say does not end where it should not, although before activating the function for the first time, it will be necessary to give our express consent.

This transcription function has an interesting point and it is that all the ones we do will end up within a section of the same name, so we can easily recover any previous one, in case we want to resend it again: a phrase that characterizes us, a saying, a review of a book that we are passionate about … the alternatives are practically endless. And as always, there is no data that can tell us when we will have it available.
