Have you considered that this person is just an asshole. I don’t even know anyone who uses voice messages, maybe some that use the speech to text feature to send a message. But voice messages aren’t a real way to communicate IMO. If they want to talk to me they’re gonna have to call me, so I can casually ignore it since I hate answering the phone.

In my region / generation they are really common. I’d say 1/10 messages in a group chat would be a voice message.

Voice message transcription could probably be a pretty good accessibility-feature for chat apps, I think.

I know its a absolute wonky workaround but you could use a second phone and enable google speech input – or an FOSS alternative: FUTO Voice Input (Local LLM Model that works pretty great. Better than google imo. Is better finding the correct words and also putting logical punctiation. – as in when should a comma or dot appear.)
Now you enable speech input on one phone and playback the voice message of the dude on the other end. Now you got all the text.

People in Brazil love leaving WhatsApp voice mail… I’ve literally never listened to one. Please just text me por favor.

my carrier provides me a service where it puts my voicemails in text form and I could never go back
