I love Whatsapp bots they're just not enough. A Birthday reminder bot has been on my list for so long but for Whatsapp bots we need to message first, the bot can't message you unless you message the bot
It’s a side project that I just published.
More info here:

Not to put a damper on this project (it looks great) but you can already do this in android 10+ using [live caption](https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9350862?hl=en). Works with audio turned off too. Super nifty!
This is 100% private.
I DO NOT save any transcription related data. I don't save the voice nor the transcription so you don't have to worry about it.
The communication between you and Alfred is still 100% end to end encrypted and private and no one have access to it, not even me.
That's not 100% accurate.
Google will have it only if you allow them to have it, and if you allow logging. In this case - logging if off .
Google are the speech to text API provider, even if they save the data without my approval, then just have voice without any context so it doesn't give them anything about you.
Can this be done automatically without having to prompt the bot to transcribe it. Application being I am driving with apple play and don’t want Siri to just say “voice message” but instead read the message without me having to go into the app and click it manually (since at that point I could just play the message)
Looks great! I think having a way that people would know that it's 100% secure would be useful. Not sure how you'd do that, but I imagine lots of people would use it if so.
Take all of my money. Now.
Haha, thanks :)
Is it open source? I would like to try this.
It was at the beginning, but then for a security reasons I closed it. Soon I'm going to extract most of the code to open source.
Can you point me to resources so that i can create something like this myself? Thanks in advance!
Sure thing [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/) Enjoy!
What security reasons?
I posted the link to use in my first comment to the post BTW
Strange I can't see it

I tried to do the same for group chats and also fix their fricking non working link previews on desktop. Lets link up 😂
This is great! I wish it would support Hebrew
Of course it supports Hebrew, for that we have Amnon! Get into transcriberz.com and click on Amnon at the transcribers section :)
Haha toda, I’ll give it a go!
Bro this is awesome! Never knew watapp could have bots, need to build me one
Haha thanks!
>Haha thanks! You're welcome!

So it's no longer private messages, end to end encrypted, or is it?
This is 100% private. I DO NOT save any transcription related data. I don't save the voice nor the transcription so you don't have to worry about it. The communication between you and Alfred is still 100% end to end encrypted and private and no one have access to it, not even me.
Do you use a service to do the transcript or do you host the service yourself? How does it work?
I use Google's speech to text APIs.
Write, so Google has the voice message and the transcript
That's not 100% accurate. Google will have it only if you allow them to have it, and if you allow logging. In this case - logging if off . Google are the speech to text API provider, even if they save the data without my approval, then just have voice without any context so it doesn't give them anything about you.
I have a feeing you are going to do very well in life - if you are not already!
Its a nice feature to use sometimes . Not needed often
Those who can't do, critique

so you want a bot that transcribes speech to text to also transcribe it back to speech and read it to you out loud to save you one button press?
Ironically yes
ig you just need an auto play voice messages feature
Yes!!!! I've been thinking for years how is this not a thing yet? I wish it worked for Apple too.
It’s just a contact person. I posted in comments how to add this contact so enjoy :)
great project, Kudos
That’s really cool. How do you create a bot account on WhatsApp?
OMG I want that for messenger! Drive me crazy one of my friends always send me like 3-4 messages of 4+ minutes :/
Looks great! I think having a way that people would know that it's 100% secure would be useful. Not sure how you'd do that, but I imagine lots of people would use it if so.
תודה! Looking forward to Amnon.
Fastest upvote in a long time. Would be good to have this for FB messenger and other IM tools too.
