Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to convert wav to MP3 before uploading?
No. wav is a lossless format and AudioToTextAI processes it directly without a quality-destroying re-encode. Lossless formats actually give you the most accurate transcripts because the high-frequency cues that ASR models rely on (sibilants, plosives) are preserved exactly. The only downside is larger file size — 500 MB is our upload cap; submit a URL or split for larger files.
Can AudioToTextAI label different speakers in a wav file?
Yes. Enable speaker diarization in the upload options and your wav transcript will include Speaker A / Speaker B / Speaker C labels at every turn. Diarization is acoustic — it doesn't matter whether your wav is a podcast, a meeting recording, or a phone call.
How long does it take to convert wav to text?
Plan on roughly 5 minutes of processing per 60 minutes of audio in your wav file. Adding diarization and AI summary adds a small overhead but the total stays under 1/10th real time for most files. There's no manual step on your side after upload — we email or webhook you when the transcript is ready.
Is there a file-size limit for wav uploads?
500 MB via the browser upload. For larger wav files, submit a URL (any HTTPS source — S3, Google Drive direct link, your CDN). The API v2 also accepts pre-signed S3 URLs to bypass our reverse-proxy entirely.
