WhatsApp to offer language choice for voice message transcripts
WhatsApp continues to innovate, rolling out updates that enhance the user experience across devices. Recently, the popular messaging app introduced several improvements to its calling features. Now, according to a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is working on an exciting new feature that allows users to choose a language for voice message transcripts.
This upcoming feature will enable users to transcribe voice notes directly within the app, offering greater accessibility and convenience, particularly for those who prefer reading text over listening to audio messages. Users will be able to select from languages such as English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, and Hindi, with the possibility of more languages being added in the future. Once a language is chosen, a corresponding language package will be downloaded to facilitate accurate transcription.
“The feature will ensure that users can read and understand voice notes in their preferred language. Additionally, it will improve the accuracy of transcriptions by using language-specific speech recognition. Users will also have the flexibility to choose a different language for specific voice notes as needed,” the report states.
Beyond this, WhatsApp is introducing three significant updates across its platforms for iPhones, Android, web, and PCs, aimed at enhancing the calling experience:

Elon Musk brings internet connectivity to Amazon jungles: Tribes get addicted with p**n and social media
Starlink Brings Internet To Remote Tribe. They Get Hooked To P**n
However, a technological marvel has breached its isolated existence - Elon Musk's revolutionary Starlink satellite internet service.
In the dense Amazon rainforest, lives an indigenous, remote tribe that speaks its language, and has a different culture preserved for several millennia. However, a technological marvel has breached its isolated existence - Elon Musk's revolutionary Starlink satellite internet service.
Yet, with this newfound connection comes a dilemma, echoing through the elders' concerns and the tribe's evolving dynamics.
The New York Times met the Marubos, the 2000-member tribe which connected with the world through the internet for the first time. Billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink provides internet to remote locations or areas that have had normal communications infrastructure disabled through low-Earth orbit satellites.

Dear Amitabh Bachchan, we need help: Kerala Congress on video of overcrowded train in UP
'Need A Small Help': Kerala Congress Appeals To Amitabh Bachchan Over 'Train Overcrowding'. Here's Why
The video, shared by the Kerala unit of Congress, showed a packed train from Gorakhpur and was accompanied by a message directed at Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on his X account.
The Kerala Congress on Thursday shared a video highlighting the issue of train overcrowding in Uttar Pradesh. The video, showing a packed train from Gorakhpur, was accompanied by a message directed at Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan on his X account.
"Dear Amitabh Bachchan, we need a small help from you. Crores of ordinary people are forced to travel like this. Even the reserved compartments are packed with people. It is 52 degrees Celsius in North India, and this video is from Gorakhpur where the UP Chief Minister hails from," the Kerala Congress stated.
The video depicted an overcrowded train compartment with passengers struggling in the heat, attempting to cool themselves with plastic fans. The Kerala Congress criticised the central government, noting that while the country's population increased by 14 crores in the past, the number of trains added to the fleet has not kept pace.
"We've added quite a few Vande Bharats to the fleet even though half of them are running with very low occupancy," the party said.
The Kerala Congress further explained their decision to appeal to Amitabh Bachchan, citing previous attempts to address the issue through official channels. They claimed that Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has not responded to their requests to increase the number of trains but quickly addresses issues raised by celebrities and the affluent, even if the request is as minor as recovering a hacked Twitter account.

Scientists Recreate Face Of King Tut's Grandfather, The "Richest Man Who Ever Lived
An expert said Amenhotep III was an obese, sick, and sedentary man, who was almost bald, and suffered from dental problems.
Scientists have created the face of an Egyptian king, who is considered the richest man who ever lived. According to a New York Post report, this is the first time in 3,400 years that the face of Amenhotep III, the grandfather of Tutenkhamun, has been recreated. Amenhotep III ruled Egypt in the 14th century BC, at the height of its power, and was worshipped as living god. He led the country through a period of unprecedented prosperity and international power. Amenhotep III is considered one of the greatest pharaohs and has more surviving statues than any other.
A multinational team used the data from skull of his mummy to reveal how Amenhotep III really looked like. They then used data from living donors to approximate the dimensions and position of his nose, ears, eyes and lips.
"If we are not mistaken, this is the first facial approximation of Amenhotep III. It is our gift to all those who appreciate history," the Post quoted Brazilian graphics designer Cicero Moraes, who resurrected the famous Pharaoh's face, as saying.
"We were amazed with the final result; seeing a complete bust with these colours and the facial serenity is quite satisfying. Compared to other approximations of pharaohs that I have participated in, this was the most complete too, as we modelled the clothes and accessories," Moraes further said.
Amenhotep was named after the sun and air god Amun, who he claimed was his real father. He undertook massive building contracts in Egypt and Nubia.
The Post report said that the wealth of the Egyptian king was unparalleled, citing his diplomatic letters.
"There are speculations that the mummy of Amenhotep III may have been entirely covered with gold leaf, so that he must have looked like a statue of a god," said Dr Michael Habicht, an archaeologist at Flinders University in Australia.

Concerns were raised by the deceased's family regarding the alleged inadequacy of facilities at the Sushma Swaraj maternity home, particularly highlighting the use of torchlight during delivery due to a reported lack of electricity.Saheedun Ansari, the deceased, a resident of Bhandup, was admitted to the Sushma Swaraj maternity home in Hanuman Nagar and went into labor on the night of April 29, expecting first child. Despite efforts, the newborn was pronounced dead shortly after birth on April 30, around 12:30 am. Subsequently, the mother was transferred to the LTMG Sion hospital, where she later succumbed.
Saheedun's brother-in-law Sharukh Ansari said, "The initial plan was for a routine delivery procedure. However, due to the baby's low heartbeat, the medical team opted for a cesarean section. Despite the lack of adequate lighting, they proceeded with the operation using a handheld torch. Although other hospital options were available, the doctors chose to continue with the procedure under risky conditions."Unfortunately, the woman experienced severe bleeding, which significantly contributed to her tragic passing. Following the infant's unfortunate demise, the Dean and medical staff decided to transfer her to Sion Hospital, albeit belatedly.The family members assert that the woman enjoyed good health throughout her nine-month pregnancy.

Strong earthquake rocks entire island of Taiwan, collapsing ..
A powerful earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale jolted Taiwan on Wednesday, marking the most intense tremor to hit the island in a quarter-century. The seismic event claimed the life of one individual, left over 50 injured, and led to the collapse of at least 26 buildings, primarily concentrated in Hualien, a mountainous and sparsely populated eastern county where the epicenter was located.
Situated along the Pacific "Ring of Fire," Taiwan is prone to seismic activity, with Wednesday's earthquake being the most significant since 1999 when a 7.6 magnitude quake resulted in the loss of approximately 2,400 lives and the destruction or damage of 50,000 structures.The earthquake struck just offshore Hualien around 8 a.m., catching residents off guard during their morning routines. It was registered a depth of 15.5 km according to Taiwan's Central Weather Administration, triggering a tsunami warning for southern Japan and the Philippines, although the warning was later lifted. While Japan's weather agency detected several minor tsunami waves in Okinawa, no significant damage was reported.
