● Works on WhatsApp only

Someone sent you a voice note.
You can't listen right now.

It's 47 seconds long, maybe four minutes. You're in a meeting, on a bus, or the house is asleep. Forward it to Subtitles on WhatsApp and read it instead. No app, no website, no sign-up.

↓ Here's how that goes
The story

A day of voice notes you couldn't play.

09:42 · IN THE MEETING

Your phone buzzes. Then buzzes again.

Your cousin has sent a voice note about tonight's plan. Your manager is mid-sentence. You can't exactly hold the phone to your ear, so you flip it over and tell yourself you'll check later.

Can't play this right now.
13:10 · ON THE BUS

Too loud to hear, too crowded to try.

Horns, engine, forty people talking. Your friend's message could be about anything, an address, a deadline, good news. You'll never know until you're somewhere quiet.

Too noisy to hear a word.
23:50 · EVERYONE'S ASLEEP

You'd listen. You just can't wake the house.

Late at night, a voice note feels like a small intrusion. Headphones are somewhere in a drawer. You'd rather read it, quickly, quietly, and reply in a minute.

Shhh. Everyone's sleeping.
Then

What if every voice note came with subtitles?

What gets heard, and what you actually get

Raw speech-to-text is full of mishearings. Subtitles catches the ones that don't make sense and fixes them before you see them.

Lafz

Subtitles

Awaaz jo hawa mein khoyi thi, lafz ban kar laut aayi hai, Khamoshi ne bhi aaj apni zubaan paayi hai.

The voice that was lost to the air has come back as words; even silence has found its tongue today.

How it works

Four steps, a few seconds

01

Send or forward a voice note

To the Subtitles number on WhatsApp, the same way you'd send one to a friend.

02

It gets transcribed

A speech model tuned for Urdu turns the audio into text — script first, before any cleanup.

03

An AI pass checks it

A second pass judges whether the transcript actually makes sense, and fixes the specific words that don't.

04

You choose the output

Tap Roman Urdu or English, and get your text back — punctuated, in paragraphs, ready to read.

Why it's built this way

Not just a transcript

Sense-checked

Every transcript is reviewed for nonsense words and mishearings before it's fixed, not just auto-corrected blind.

Real Roman Urdu

Spelled the way people actually text — InshaAllah, theek hai, yaar — not a literal transliteration.

English on request

Same voice note, translated cleanly, for whenever you need to share it outside Urdu-speaking circles.

Seconds, not minutes

Transcription happens the moment your voice note lands.

No recordings kept

We keep the text needed to reply to you. Your audio isn't stored after it's processed.

Built for code-switching

Urdu mixed with English mid-sentence comes out the way you actually speak, not forced into one language.

FAQ

Good to know

Does it work with English voice notes?

Yes. Speak in English, Urdu, or a mix of both — the transcription and cleanup handle all three.

What if it gets a word wrong?

It happens, especially with background noise or unusual names. Just send the voice note again — each attempt is transcribed and checked fresh.

Is there a cost?

Subtitles is free to use right now, on ordinary WhatsApp messaging rates.

How long can a voice note be?

Send it like any normal WhatsApp voice note. Very long recordings take a little longer to come back.
