For long chats, forward the voice message to yourself and save from the media gallery.
If you get an OPUS file, upload it as-is; converting to M4A/MP3 is optional.

FAQ

Do I need a desktop?: No. The guide works in mobile browsers too.

Can I translate to multiple languages?: Yes. Run translations one after another and copy or share each version from the note history.

Is the audio stored?: You control sharing and deletion from within Sondeas.

Troubleshooting

If the file downloads as .opus, upload it directly—no conversion needed.
If you cannot find the Save option, forward the voice message to an email or Files app first.
If a transcription fails, tap Retry or download the preserved recording before re-uploading.
