Why WAV transcribes so well

WAV is uncompressed, so no detail of the voice is lost. Recordings from devices like the Zoom H1n, Tascam or a USB microphone usually produce the most accurate transcripts.

Large files

WAV files are big, about 10 MB per minute in CD quality. If yours is over the upload limit, convert it to MP3 or M4A first; transcription quality stays almost the same.

Frequently asked questions

Does sample rate matter?

No. Any sample rate from 8 kHz to 96 kHz works; audio is converted to 16 kHz internally, which is all speech recognition needs.

Can I transcribe stereo WAV files?

Yes. Channels are mixed to mono before transcription.

Is dictation supported?

Yes. Speak punctuation naturally and the model adds commas and full stops for you.
