Where is WhatsApp audio saved on Android?

On Android, WhatsApp audio is saved in: Internal Storage → WhatsApp → Media → WhatsApp Voice Notes. The exact path may vary if WhatsApp is installed on the SD card. On Samsung phones use the "My Files" app; on other Android phones use "Files by Google".

How do I send WhatsApp audio to my computer from Android?

Three ways: 1) USB: connect the phone, select "File transfer (MTP)" and drag the file. 2) Google Drive: share the audio straight to Drive from WhatsApp. 3) Email: forward the audio to yourself.

Can I transcribe WhatsApp audio directly on my Android phone?

Yes. Open Chrome on Android → go to voxscriber.com → tap the upload area → "Files" → browse to WhatsApp/Media/WhatsApp Voice Notes → select the file. Transcription works right on the phone.

Does WhatsApp’s OPUS format work in VoxScriber?

Yes. VoxScriber accepts .opus natively — it’s exactly the format WhatsApp uses to record voice messages on Android. No need to convert to MP3.

What if WhatsApp is installed on my Android SD card?

If WhatsApp uses the SD card, the path would be: SD Card → WhatsApp → Media → WhatsApp Voice Notes. Check WhatsApp’s storage settings under App settings → Storage.

Does transcription work well with a basic Android phone mic?

Yes. AssemblyAI (VoxScriber’s engine) was trained on human speech in varied conditions, including phone mics with background noise. For best results prefer quiet environments, but accuracy is still high even in noisy ones.
