What kind of WAV can I upload?
The file must contain playable audio. WAV keeps sound uncompressed, so recordings are often large; check the maximum file size shown in the upload area before you start.
For an interview, conversation, or any recording with several voices, enable speaker separation. Once transcription is complete, check the generated labels and replace them with the correct names.
How to convert WAV to text
1. Choose the WAV and its spoken language
Upload the file and select the language actually used in the recording.
2. Listen and correct the transcript
Open the completed transcript, play passages that need checking, and correct names, technical terms, and unclear words.
3. Download the format for your next step
Choose TXT for plain text or DOCX to keep working in a document editor. Use SRT or VTT when you need speech with time ranges. Saved corrections remain available after a refresh in the same browser; cross-device task history is available only on Pro and Studio.
What do you receive?
- A transcript divided into editable passages.
- Time ranges that help you find each passage in the audio.
- Voice labels that you can check and rename.
- TXT, DOCX, SRT, and VTT downloads after review.
What should you review before downloading?
Check names, acronyms, numbers, and subject-specific vocabulary. If people talk over each other, listen to the passage again before assigning the words to a speaker or using them as a quotation.
When will the audio need more correction?
Noise, music, low volume, and distance from the microphone can hide words. Listen to important sections and correct the text before sharing or publishing it.
If the file is empty or will not play, use another version of the recording before trying again.
Questions about converting WAV to text
Do I need to install an app?
No. Upload the WAV, listen to the recording, correct the transcript, and download the result in your browser.
What can I do if the WAV is over the limit?
The upload area shows your maximum file size. Maximum duration is 10 minutes without an account, 30 minutes on Free, 3 hours on Pro, and 6 hours on Studio. If the file exceeds the displayed limit, trim the section you need in an audio editor or compare the limits of the other plans before trying again.
Daily file limits are 10 without an account and 20 when using the Free allowance. Pro, Studio, and transcriptions using purchased minutes have no daily file-count limit; available minutes and per-file limits still apply.
What happens to the WAV after I upload it?
Once the transcription is complete, the uploaded audio file is deleted about 24 hours later. The transcript remains available for 7 days without an account and on Free, 30 days on Pro, and 90 days on Studio; download the reviewed file to keep your corrections.
If the audio is M4A or MP3
Recordings made on an iPhone are usually saved as M4A, and many older files are MP3. The upload and review flow is the same for both formats.
