Have you considered that this person is just an asshole. I don’t even know anyone who uses voice messages, maybe some that use the speech to text feature to send a message. But voice messages aren’t a real way to communicate IMO. If they want to talk to me they’re gonna have to call me, so I can casually ignore it since I hate answering the phone.
I know its a absolute wonky workaround but you could use a second phone and enable google speech input – or an FOSS alternative: FUTO Voice Input (Local LLM Model that works pretty great. Better than google imo. Is better finding the correct words and also putting logical punctiation. – as in when should a comma or dot appear.)
Now you enable speech input on one phone and playback the voice message of the dude on the other end. Now you got all the text.

In my region / generation they are really common. I’d say 1/10 messages in a group chat would be a voice message.
Yes, assholes are common in lots of places.
if you are deaf then how did u read the messages
hahha funny
Voice message transcription could probably be a pretty good accessibility-feature for chat apps, I think.
