VocaLingo appears in the system share sheet on iOS and Android. You can send any voice message or audio file from a messenger directly to VocaLingo without saving it first.
How it works
When you share audio from a messenger, VocaLingo opens on Translate Audio and the automatic pipeline starts: recognition, translation and summary. Processing works the same as a manual upload. For recognition and voiceover options see Translate Audio settings.
ℹ️ Sharing from messengers works on iOS and Android. On web, download the audio file first and upload it in VocaLingo.
