How to download a voice message from VK 2 ways

How to send a VK voice message from a computer

To send a voice message to VKontakte from a PC, you need to go to your page from any browser. To record voice, it is advisable to have headphones with a good microphone. Of course, the built-in one, for example, in a laptop, will do.

If you have never recorded a voice VK from a computer, then when you click on the corresponding recording button, a notification will appear at the top next to the address bar asking you to allow access to the microphone.

After clicking on the icon, the recording process will appear. Once you have said everything you need to, click to stop recording. The message will not yet be sent until you click the Send button. At this moment the voice can be listened to.

Why can't I send an audio message?

As a rule, the main part of the problems arises when trying to enable voice messages on a computer in VK: the dialogue page either does not show the microphone icon or writes about an error when trying to send a message. To solve this problem, you need to check:

the functionality of the microphone (built-in or connected);
Availability of current microphone drivers;
settings in the “Sound” menu (the desired microphone must be turned on in the “Recording” tab);
permission for the browser to use the microphone.

It happens that the settings and drivers menu “does not lend itself to persuasion,” and you still cannot send an audio message to VK from your computer. In this situation, there are several solutions:

The user can use another computer/laptop/tablet with already configured equipment.
Sometimes changing the browser helps.
You can also send an audio message to VK from your phone through a mobile browser - this will allow you not to waste time setting up the microphone, while still having the opportunity to preview the recorded audio. For the function to work correctly, you need to check the “PC version” box in the mobile browser settings, and then on the VK page, under the right menu, click on “PC version”.

Well, don’t forget that any service has problems, and no one is immune from errors on the server. It happens that a coffee break works wonders: an hour ago it was impossible to send a message, but now everything works!

Please note that it is possible that ALL messages are simply not sent to social networks. Then the reason must be sought in the other direction.

How to send a voice message to VKontakte from your phone

There are a large number of VK clients for smartphones. That is, there is not only an official application. The latest versions of third-party applications have a voice recording feature.

Let's look at the example of two applications - the official client and Kate Mobile.

Sending voice messages in the official application

Log in to the official VKontakte client.
Let's move on to the dialogue section.
Open a dialog where you need to send a message.
Where it says “Your message”, to the right of the emoticon, press and hold the button to record a voice message.
When you release the record button, the message will automatically be sent to the other party.

In the latest versions of VK, voice messages in the mobile application have a dot indicating that the message has not been listened to. Both interlocutors have this mark. When the user starts listening to the voice, the dot will disappear.

What can I do to cancel the voice message recording process ? It's simple. When you hold the record button, you cannot release it because the message will be sent. To cancel sending a voice VK, without releasing the record button, point your finger to the left when a red circle with a cross appears. Now you can remove your finger.

Sending voice messages via Kate Mobile

Kate Mobile is a very popular client for VKontakte with many different features. There is also an option to record a voice message here.

Go to the Kate Mobile application.
Go to the “Messages” tab.
Select the dialogue where you want to send the voice VK.
On the right, click on the record button.
A window will appear with a recording timer and two buttons “Send” and play.
When you click send, the message will be attached as a multimedia file.
Click the “Submit” button.

There are a little more steps to implement voice recording, but it doesn’t cause any inconvenience. The only thing missing is a dot on the message, which shows whether the interlocutor listened to the message or not.

How to save an SMS and make an audio recording from it

To solve this problem, the best place to start is . And it is advisable to use a mobile phone:

To do this, you need to open the mobile application and copy the audio message using the double square icon.
A link to the audio track will be copied to the clipboard; you can send this link to yourself and then open it; there is an option to immediately paste the link into your mobile browser.

A window will open with one audio track, there will be three dots on the right, you need to click on them and tap on the “Download” button that appears.

The audio track in oog format will be downloaded to the phone memory (most likely to the root Download folder).
You can convert the downloaded file to mp3 format using programs on your computer (Movavi, Zamzar, etc.) or online services (https://www.zamzar.com).
The resulting mp3 track is uploaded to VK, like any other - in the browser through the “Music” menu using the “Add” button.

It should be noted that the opposite task - sending audio as a voice message - has only one solution today. You will need to simultaneously record a voice message and play the desired audio track. There used to be a dubious program for this purpose (VK Utils), but it no longer works.

This concludes the review of the capabilities of voice messages - official and hidden. We told you how to record and send audio messages, what functionality VK developers have opened for users, and what can be done with the help of small tricks. And of course, we touched on the topic of why voice messages are not recorded in VK, and gave a couple of tips for this case. Our team hopes that the article was useful, if you have any questions, we are waiting for your comments.

How to forward a VK voice message to your interlocutor

I think everything is clear here. It is possible to send or forward a VK voice message in the same way as with regular messages. Here's what you need to do to achieve this.

From computer:

We go into the dialogue where you recorded and sent a message from your PC.
Left-click on it to select it.
Click on the “Forward” button at the top.
Select a dialogue with the user where you want to forward the voice message.

From phone:

Open a conversation with users and long press on the message.
When it is highlighted at the top, click on the arrow icon pointing to the right.
We select the recipient and send.

How to change the voice in an audio message

Among the settings for audio messages, only voice changes are currently available; this can be achieved in two ways:

when recording an audio message, play a previously prepared audio track on the computer;
use the VK Voice Message extension.

The first option is long: you need to record an audio track in advance, then process it on a computer using programs (AudioMASTER or Adobe Audition). After this, you will need to enable recording of the voice message on your phone, while simultaneously enabling playback of the modified recording on your computer.

We want to warn you - there is a lot written on the Internet about programs with which any audio clip can be sent as a voice message on VK - this is a risky decision. Such programs, as a rule, are blocked by the antivirus as especially dangerous, and they also ask you to enter your account login and password.

There is also an option to use a special browser extension - VK Voice Message, you can download it from the link https://vk-voice-messages.info/ (suitable for Chrome, Opera, Firefox, Yandex browsers):

After downloading and installing, you will be able to see a blue icon on the top panel; when you click on it, settings are available: voice, intonation, speed. Only one voice is currently available for free - Maxima.
After this, just type the text of the message in any VK dialogue and click on the headphones icon - the extension will synthesize and send the desired phrase.

Of course, sending a voice message in Contact using a speech synthesizer is much easier, but it should be noted that the extension has not been working very stable lately and has lost most of its free functionality. Therefore, it is difficult to say how VK Voice Message will work in the future.

Is it possible to download a voice message from VK

How to download a voice message on VKontakte? There are currently two effective ways to do this: browser developer tools and a special bot.

Download via VOICELOAD

Despite the fact that the method described above is trouble-free, many users are interested in whether it is possible to download a voice message automatically, without delving into the topic. The answer will be to use a special bot, the work of which is established through VKontakte messages. Let's look at the step-by-step instructions:

Everything is very simple. To delete a message you just sent, you need to highlight it and then click on the delete icon. From a computer it looks like a trash can icon. Exactly the same from the phone.

Plus, a message that has just been sent can be deleted within 24 hours not only from yourself, but also from the interlocutor. To do this, select the message and check the “Delete for everyone” checkbox. A very convenient feature if the message is sent accidentally. From a PC and a smartphone, the removal method is the same.
