Facebook Messenger wants to transcribe audio messages

A small feature that can be useful if you are in a meeting.

There are some months during a Q & A session, Zuckerberg said the following  : "Mail is one of the few things that people use more than social networks" .

That's why Facebook has taken the unpopular decision to impose its Messenger application ( and here's how you do not want it ) and why the number of social networks continues to polish this separate mail application.

It's been a while since the number of social networks offers on its app a feature that allows you to send audio messages (not to be confused with voice calls).


We’re always working on ways to make Messenger more useful. As many of you know, we already offer a feature that enables people to send voice clips to their friends without having to type out the text. Today we are starting to roll out a small test that helps people read the voice clips they receive instead of having to play them out loud. So, for example, if you’re at a concert or in a meeting, and would prefer to read a voice clip from a friend, you now can if you're part of the small test we're rolling out. Our plan is to test this feature at a tiny scale for now and we’re looking forward to seeing what you think of it before making the experience more widely available.

But these messages are not always practical, although they are fun. For example, if you are at the cinema or in a meeting, you certainly can not open an audio message immediately after receipt.

Facebook has found a small parade for you to respond more quickly: the transcription of audio messages.

In a posting on his Facebook account, David Marcus (who is none other than the Vice-President in charge of the company's messaging products) announced that they are conducting a small test this new feature on a number Closed user.

"Our plan is to test this feature on a very small scale so far, and we are waiting to see what you think, before making experience available to more," he says.

It also recalls that a few months ago, Andrew Aude, a student at Sandford, had managed fiddling Facebook Messenger on the iPhone (with App Cycript) to bring up a mico-transaction feature that was already hidden in the application code.
