The new proposed feature is expected to have been spotted in such development previously. It looks like the feature was previously limited to Google Messages on Pixel phones and to all Android devices. However, it appears this is now ready for primetime and rolling out in several other apps such as WhatsApp.
With the ‘message transcription’ the audio can be quickly analysed before a text chat box appears beneath the audio waveform. This allows you to get a quick analysis of the text that you are sending or receiving. Earlier selected Google Pixel phones had this feature. You would be able to get voice message transcriptions when using SMS, MMS or RCS messaging within Google Messages.
