Question 1

Can I transcribe a WAV file to text?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload your WAV file and our AI transcribes the speech to text. WAV is an uncompressed format that provides excellent audio quality for transcription — often better accuracy than compressed formats at equivalent content.

Question 2

What WAV sample rates and bit depths are supported?

Accepted Answer

All standard WAV configurations are supported: 16kHz, 22kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 96kHz sample rates and 16-bit/24-bit/32-bit depths. Both PCM and IEEE float WAV files work. Mono and stereo are both supported.

Question 3

Why use WAV instead of MP3 for transcription?

Accepted Answer

WAV is lossless — it preserves all audio fidelity without compression artifacts. For transcription, WAV files often produce slightly higher accuracy on difficult audio because the speech signal is not degraded by MP3 compression, particularly at lower bitrates.

Question 4

Is WAV to text conversion free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free tier includes 3 imports per month (resets on the 1st). Sign up for free to try.

Question 5

Can I get SRT subtitles from a WAV file?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VideoText generates timed SRT or VTT files from any audio or video input, including WAV. Upload the file, select subtitle output, and download the timed caption file.
