    How to convert OPUS to text

    Opus is the speech codec behind WhatsApp voice notes and many voice and video calls. WhatsApp voice messages are saved as .opus files. Upload a .opus file and Scriptivox turns the speech in it into an accurate transcript with timestamps and speaker labels, which you can edit and download as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.

    1. Upload your OPUS file

      WhatsApp voice messages are .opus files. On an iPhone, share the voice message to Files; on Android, share it or find it in WhatsApp's Voice Notes media folder. Then upload the file here.

    2. Choose the language

      Leave it on auto-detect or pick one of more than 100 languages. Turn on speaker recognition when more than one person talks.

    3. Edit and export

      Read the transcript with timestamps, correct any word in the editor, then download it as TXT, DOCX, PDF, CSV, SRT or VTT.
