How It Works
WAV files are larger but often cleaner than MP3, which helps Whisper with quiet speakers. Upload your WAV, select output format, and download text when processing completes. Very long 48 kHz multitrack WAVs may take extra time.
Use Cases
Film dialog editors transcribe production WAV stems, researchers process lab interview recordings, and radio stations archive newsroom cuts as searchable text. Audiobook proofreaders also compare narrator WAV masters against the manuscript when hunting misread sentences before publication.
Limitations
Stereo music WAVs with no isolated vocal track may produce nonsense lyrics. Use speech-focused recordings or isolate vocals before uploading.
