Translate a voice message from any app

Search for a voice message translator and most of what you'll find is built for one platform — a WhatsApp Web extension, a Telegram bot, an Instagram-only tool. If the voice note that stumped you came from a different app, you're stuck looking for another tool.

ReplyLingo works differently: it's a phone app that plugs into your operating system's share sheet — the same "Share" menu every messaging app already uses to send a file elsewhere. That means it isn't tied to WhatsApp, or any single app. If you can share the audio file, ReplyLingo can translate it.

Telegram

• Tap and hold the voice message.
• Choose Forward or Share.
• Select ReplyLingo from the share sheet.

Instagram DMs

• Open the voice message's options in the DM thread.
• Share or save the audio, then share it into ReplyLingo.
• Instagram's exact menu wording varies by app version, but the audio file behaves the same once it reaches your share sheet.

Messenger, iMessage & voice memos

• Use the built-in Share option on the voice message or audio file.
• Select ReplyLingo.
• Translated audio and a spoken reply come back the same way regardless of where the original message came from.

Any other app

If an app lets you share an audio file at all — Discord, Slack, email, a downloaded recording — the same flow applies: share it to ReplyLingo, get it transcribed, translated and read back to you.

If the voice note in question is specifically on WhatsApp, the full step-by-step — including what WhatsApp's own translation feature does and doesn't cover — is in How to translate a WhatsApp voice message.
