Frequently Asked Questions
everything professionals need to know about wav transcription.
why is wav better for transcription than compressed formats?
wav files are uncompressed, meaning no audio data is lost. this preserves subtle speech nuances, breath patterns, and acoustic details that compressed formats like mp3 discard. for professional applications where accuracy is critical, wav provides the best source material for ai transcription.
can you handle large wav files from long recordings?
yes! we support wav files up to 2gb and recordings up to 4 hours. for very long recordings, we recommend splitting into segments for faster processing. our system handles 24-bit/96khz broadcast-quality files efficiently.
does sample rate affect transcription accuracy?
higher sample rates (44.1khz+) provide better quality source audio, which can improve accuracy for complex content. however, our ai is optimized for voice frequencies, so even 22.05khz files produce excellent results for speech.
is wav transcription more accurate than mp3?
In most cases, yes. WAV's lossless quality means our AI has access to the full audio signal without compression artifacts. This is especially noticeable with quiet speech, overlapping speakers, or recordings with background ambience.
how do you handle multi-channel wav files?
we can process stereo and multi-channel wav files. by default, we mix to mono for optimal speech recognition. for recordings with different speakers on different channels, contact us for specialized processing.
what industries use wav transcription most?
legal firms (court recordings, depositions), recording studios (session notes, lyrics), broadcast media (archiving), medical facilities (dictation), and corporate compliance departments commonly use wav for its quality and reliability.
