I. Intro
In the Lark mobile app, you can send audio messages. You have three options to choose from: sending both voice and text, sending only voice, or converting voice to text. You can also automatically convert audio messages you receive into text if you prefer reading over listening.
Note:
- Lark can detect English, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese in voice messages. When you record a voice message, you can select one of these languages or Auto-detect Chinese/English.
- You cannot send voice messages through the desktop app. However, you can convert received voice messages into text.
