Native WhatsApp Voice Notes with Transcriptions
Outbound WhatsApp Voice Notes Now Delivered as Native Messages
Outbound WhatsApp voice notes sent from the GoClixio (Clixio) Conversations UI are now delivered as native WhatsApp voice messages rather than downloadable audio attachments.
Voice notes are automatically downloaded and playable instantly inside WhatsApp.
Customers can view voice message transcriptions directly in WhatsApp (if enabled in their settings).
This enhancement aligns your outbound voice messaging experience with WhatsApp’s native capabilities.
What Changed (And Why It Matters)
Previously, WhatsApp voice notes sent from Clixio were delivered as audio attachments, which required customers to download the file and open it to listen.
Now, voice notes are sent in WhatsApp’s native voice note format.
They play inline, just like messages sent from the WhatsApp app.
WhatsApp’s built-in voice transcription feature is also supported.
Why SMBs and Businesses Should Use This:
Higher engagement – customers are more likely to listen to or read voice notes that play instantly.
Improved accessibility – customers can read messages instead of listening.
Better clarity – transcripts are helpful in noisy environments or when audio isn’t convenient.
More human conversations – voice notes feel personal without adding friction.
Outbound WhatsApp voice notes from Clixio are now sent in OGG format.
This format is fully compatible with WhatsApp’s native voice message transcription.
If the recipient has voice transcripts enabled, they’ll see a “Transcribe” option directly on the voice note.
No changes are necessary on the Clixio side—this feature works automatically for outbound voice notes sent from Conversations.
How End Customers Enable Voice Transcripts (WhatsApp Setting)
To view transcriptions, recipients must enable the feature in WhatsApp:
1. Open WhatsApp on your mobile device.
2. Go to Settings → Chats.
3. Tap Voice message transcripts.
4. Select “Manually” (tap Transcribe when needed).
5. Choose your preferred transcript language.
6. Return to the chat and tap Transcribe on any supported voice note.
Note: If this setting is turned off or set to “Never”, transcripts will not appear.
