Does it work on my phone? It works on your computer โ€” and that is by design.

Short answer: ZapVox is a browser extension, and extensions live on the computer. The long answer is why that is an advantage.

Where audio becomes text

You open WhatsApp Web in Chrome, Edge or Firefox, and every voice note gets a ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ button. One click, and the text appears right there, next to the message โ€” in seconds. No copying audio anywhere, no other app open. Same conversation as before, only now you can read it.

Why the computer is the right place

A big screen and a keyboard change what you can do with a voice note: read three transcriptions at once while you attend, translate the one that came in Spanish, summarize the seven-minute one, search the word "invoice" across the month's voice notes and open the chat at the right spot. On a phone each of those would be one more app and one less hand.

What changes for the person on the other side

People who send voice notes want to be understood. When you read instead of listening, you reply faster, with the whole context in front of you, and you do not miss what was said at minute four. The client, the patient, the colleague โ€” they get a better answer, sooner. Their experience improves along with yours.

And on the phone?

Today, the ZapVox experience is on the computer, on WhatsApp Web. Mobile browsers do not run extensions โ€” not ours, not anyone's. If you are reading this on your phone, send the link to your computer with the button below and carry on from there.

Quick questions

Is there a mobile app?

Not today. ZapVox is an extension for WhatsApp Web on the computer, and that is the form it works in.

Does it work on a tablet?

It depends on the browser: tablets whose browser accepts desktop extensions can install it; most tablet browsers do not.

Do I need my phone nearby?

Only for WhatsApp Web itself, as you already do. ZapVox asks nothing of your phone.
