How to install in 30 seconds

Three clicks and the transcribe button is there, on every voice note in WhatsApp Web.

  1. Open the Chrome Web Store listing

    Go to the Kaption AI page in the Chrome Web Store. On Microsoft Edge, open the Edge Add-ons listing instead.

    chromewebstore.google.com
  2. Click "Add to Chrome"

    Confirm "Add extension" in the dialog your browser shows. It downloads in a couple of seconds and there is nothing to configure.

  3. Open web.whatsapp.com and pin it

    Reload WhatsApp Web and Kaption appears in your chats. Pin it from the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar to keep it one click away.

    web.whatsapp.com
Add to Chrome

Installing is free, and it works on Chrome, Edge and other Chromium-based browsers.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us before installing Kaption AI.

Is Kaption AI free?

Yes. Installing the extension is free and you can start transcribing voice notes right away, with no credit card. The optional Basic and Pro plans add unlimited transcriptions, unlimited translation sessions, smart transcription and more scheduled messages.

Is it safe? What data does the extension access?

The extension only runs on WhatsApp Web and works with the chats you already have open there. Your history stays in encrypted storage on your own device — no message content is kept on Kaption's servers. Audio you choose to transcribe is sent for processing and discarded as soon as the text comes back, and your conversations are never used to train AI models.

Does it work with WhatsApp Business?

Kaption adds its features to web.whatsapp.com, so it works with whichever account is signed in to that tab. It is a browser extension rather than an integration with the official WhatsApp Business API, so it does not connect to Cloud API numbers.

Does it work on Microsoft Edge?

Yes. Kaption AI is published in the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store, and the install button on this page switches to "Add to Edge" when you browse in Edge. Other Chromium-based browsers that can install from the Chrome Web Store work too.

Which languages does transcription support?

Dozens. Voice notes are transcribed in the language they were recorded in — English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Turkish, Chinese, Japanese and many more — and live translation covers more than 90 languages.
