The new voice message transcription feature on WhatsApp will create a text version of voice clips for use when it’s inconvenient to listen to messages. WhatsApp says it is rolling out this feature for Android and iPhone users in the coming weeks.
Spotify is rolling out a slew of new features for audiobooks. Perhaps the most significant is a built-in sleep timer. Users who tend to doze off while listening to a book can preset a time for it to stop playing, allowing them to pick up where they left off when they wake up.
