Au début de l'année, we introduced the ability to send voice messages in Google Chat to help users save time, convey more information, and emphasize the most important information for the message receiver. To build upon this highly requested communication feature and increase accessibility in Chat, we’re excited to announce voice messages transcription. 

Starting today, users will be able to see an automatic transcription of voice messages in Chat on web and mobile. This update enables content consumption in a user’s preferred format or the format that is most convenient at that particular moment. 

Admins:This feature will be ON by default and can be disabled at the domain or OU level by disabling all attachments. Visit the Help Center to learn more about le contrôle du partage de fichiers dans le chat. Aux fins de Google Vault, Google Takeoutet Outils de modération de l'outil d'investigation de sécurité (SIT), voice messages and transcriptions are treated as attachments (like any other message in Chat). End users: You can send voice messages on mobile (to direct messages, group chats and spaces) and receive them on all platforms, including web. To review the voice messages transcription, click “View transcript” underneath the voice message. You can close the voice transcription by clicking “Hide transcript”. For screen reader users, voice transcripts are treated as readable texts.
