How it Works
In iOS 17, audio message transcriptions are enabled by default for all users. This means that when you send an audio message, it will be transcribed into text that the recipient can read.
The transcriptions are generated using on-device machine learning, which allows for quick and accurate results. This process happens in real-time, so you can see the transcription as the audio message is being sent.
Transcriptions are displayed in the Messages app, making it easy to read and respond to audio messages. You can even copy and paste the transcription into other apps or messages.
The accuracy of the transcriptions is impressive, with a reported 98% accuracy rate for most users. This means that you can rely on the transcriptions to get the gist of the message.
You can also customize the transcription settings to suit your needs, such as choosing to have transcriptions appear automatically or only when you ask for them.
