Feature Request - iMessage Audio Transcription

It would be really great for there to be text transcriptions of audio messages received, for those of us who get and send a lot of audio messages. Sometimes for the more visual of us, it's hard to remember what was said and reply, and then take notes etc. Telegram has already implemented this, and it is such a great feature that I would much prefer in iMessage.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

whatsapp for business transcripts not available? I was using transcripts on regular whatsapp voice messages. I switched to business and I can't find the option under settings, then chats. I messaged with whatsapp support extensively and finally they said: "I appreciate you trying to troubleshoot the issue. Unfortunately, it seems that the voice message transcript feature is still not available on your WhatsApp Business for iPhone." How can this be true?

DISABLE iMessage Voice transcription So apparently Apple decided to forcibly transcribe text if you send someone an audio message in iMessage. If I wanted to send a text I would send a text! When I want them to hear my voice, I send an audio. There’s already a way to do “talk to text” in iMessage. Why are you forcing transcription on audios now? Not only does the thing hang when it tries to send because it’s too busy trying to transcribe for 10 minutes, but I want people to listen to my voice. That’s why I send audios. This is going to cause so many problems for people that use this feature for very specific reasons. And you don’t even have a setting in the settings to disable it? who makes these decisions?
