If your WhatsApp mixes contacts who speak different languages — a foreign client, an overseas supplier, a relative who emigrated, a colleague on an international team — you've probably received a 2-minute audio in English, Spanish or another language and missed most of it. Copying the audio, finding a translation app, screen-recording it, or asking someone to "translate this for me" is the kind of chore nobody has time to repeat every time.
ZapVox solves this with one click inside WhatsApp Web itself: it transcribes the audio in its original language and then translates it into the language you choose — more than 99 options — without forwarding anything outside the chat.
In practice: a 2-minute audio in English becomes a paragraph in Portuguese (or whichever language you prefer) in a few seconds, right below the original message.
Where this solves a real problem
| Situation | How ZapVox helps |
|---|---|
| A foreign client sends an audio explaining a request | Automatic translation, without losing detail |
| An international supplier sends voice instructions | Translated text, easy to re-read and share with the team |
| A relative or friend abroad sends an audio in another language | Instant translation, no need to ask "can you type it instead?" |
| A work group with people from different countries | Each audio can be read in the reader's own language |
| You want to reply in another language but don't write it well | Helps you understand the context before replying |
How it works
- Install the extension from the Chrome Web Store and open WhatsApp Web
- Click the translate button next to the audio you received
- The transcription in the original language appears first, followed by the translation in the language set in your settings
No need to copy the audio, open another app, or send the message to an unknown bot — everything happens in the same WhatsApp Web tab you're already using.
What translation doesn't do
Worth being clear: automatic translation helps you quickly grasp the gist of an audio, but it doesn't replace a professional translator in legal, medical or contractual contexts where every word carries legal weight. For everyday conversations — sales, support, family, remote teams — the accuracy is more than enough to decide how to respond without wasting time.

Which languages does ZapVox translate WhatsApp audio into?
More than 99 languages, in both directions: you pick the target language and the extension translates the audio you received automatically.
Does translation work together with transcription?
Yes. ZapVox first transcribes the original audio, then generates the translation — you can read both the original and translated text without copying anything into another app.
Do I need to forward the audio to an external translator?
No. Everything happens with one click inside WhatsApp Web, without forwarding the audio to bots, apps or unknown third parties.
Is there a free plan to translate audio?
The free plan covers daily transcriptions; translation, summaries and sentiment analysis are part of ZapVox Pro, with much higher daily limits.
