How can I capture the voice audio of users?

In the docs we have: but nothing about capture audio.

// Send Voice Note

const filename = "myaudio.mp3";
const audio = fs.readFileSync(filename); // return Buffer
const send = await whatsapp.sendVoiceNote({
  sessionId: "session1",
  to: "6281234567890",
  media: audio,
});

how can we archive that?

Thank you

Hi! Did you manage to figure this out?

If not, I was able to achieve it using whiskeysockets/baileys. Here's a snippet of my implementation that captures and processes voice audio from users and saves it locally:

`import { downloadMediaMessage } from '@whiskeysockets/baileys';
import * as fs from 'fs';
import * as path from 'path';

private async handleAudioMessage(msg: any, sessionId: string): Promise {
try {
const audioDir = path.join('media_downloads', sessionId, 'audio');
fs.mkdirSync(audioDir, { recursive: true });

const mediaId = msg.message.audioMessage.mediaKey.toString('hex');
const filePath = path.join(audioDir, `${mediaId}.mp3`);

console.log('📥 Downloading audio message...');
const buffer = await downloadMediaMessage(msg, 'buffer', {});
fs.writeFileSync(filePath, buffer);

console.log('✅ Audio saved to:', filePath);
return filePath;

} catch (error) {
console.error('❌ Error handling audio message:', error);
throw new Error(Failed to process audio message: ${error.message});
}
}`

Good luck! ✌️

Thank you very much, just like you, I have managed to send audios by switching to the Baileys library. Greetings!
