Not too long ago, SMS and making phone calls were the only two ways of having conversations through your phone. However, each method had its own set of advantages and disadvantages. In today’s technological age, most messaging applications also support voice messages which provide a hybrid of the benefits of SMS and phone calls, such as having asynchronous conversations like SMS but still being able to capture the nuances and emotions of a phone call. Voice messages have become very popular, especially in certain regions, and you can use this in your application development when utilizing Twilio SMS and WhatsApp. In this guide, you’ll learn how to receive audio messages from WhatsApp and use OpenAI Speech to Text to transcribe the audio.
