What file a voice note is
WhatsApp records voice notes with the Opus codec, designed for speech, and saves them as .opus or .ogg depending on the phone and how you get them out. They’re tiny and the tool accepts them directly: there’s no need to turn them into MP3.
How to save the voice note
It depends on where you use WhatsApp:
- Android: press and hold the voice note, tap the share button and save it to your phone or email it to yourself.
- iPhone: press and hold the voice note, tap “Forward”, then the share button at the bottom and “Save to Files”.
- WhatsApp Web or the desktop app: open the message menu and choose “Download”.
Tips
To save time:
- You can do it all from your phone: open this page in your mobile browser and choose the saved file.
- If there are several notes in a row, upload them one by one: each note counts as a file, and without an account it’s 3 a day.
- Voice notes are often recorded in the street or in the car; if a word comes out wrong, listen to that minute and fix it.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to convert the .opus to MP3?
No. The tool accepts .opus, .ogg and .oga directly. Converting it only adds a step.
Can you see my WhatsApp chats?
No. Only the audio you upload is transcribed, on Edorteam’s servers in the European Union and with our own AI. We have no access to your WhatsApp; the file is deleted when it’s done and the text after 24 hours.
Does it work with notes in Catalan, Galician or other languages?
Yes. Echo detects the language automatically, or you can choose it before uploading. Proper names and unusual words may be misspelt: check those parts.
What about Telegram voice messages?
Those too: Telegram saves voice messages as .ogg with the same Opus codec. Save it and upload it the same way.
