Read WhatsApp voice notes without listening
In a meeting, on a train, or beside a sleeping baby? Share the voice note to Hearless and read it instead of playing it out loud.

Questions about reading voice notes
How do I read a WhatsApp voice message without listening to it?
Long-press the voice note in WhatsApp, tap Share, and choose Hearless. The text appears in a sheet on top of WhatsApp — no sound, no earphones.
Can I read voice notes silently in a meeting?
Yes. Hearless never plays the audio. You read the transcript, so it works in meetings, classes, libraries and quiet rooms.
Do I need headphones?
No. The whole point is to skip playback — you read instead of listening, anywhere.
Does it work for long voice notes?
Yes. There is no length limit; long recordings are handled automatically, so a two-minute note becomes something you can skim.
Which languages can it read?
60 languages plus Auto Detect, including Urdu, Hindi and Arabic — with an option to read them in Roman (Latin) letters.
Is my audio kept?
Voice notes are processed by OpenAI via our servers to turn them into text; we don’t store them.
