How it works
- 01
Locate the WAV file
WAV is the most common lossless audio format. Professional recorders (Zoom H-series, Tascam, Roland), audio editing software (Audacity, Adobe Audition, Logic Pro), call center/PBX systems, and medical dictaphones typically record in WAV. Any sample rate works (8kHz to 192kHz).
- 02
Upload to VoxScriber
Drag the WAV file into the upload area. Files up to 5 GB are accepted. WAV files can be large (1 hour of mono 44.1kHz recording ≈ 300 MB); the system compresses internally before processing, without quality loss for transcription.
- 03
Get the text and export
The transcription appears within seconds. Export in TXT, DOCX, SRT, VTT, PDF, or JSON. For reports and legal documents, DOCX format is recommended — compatible with Word and LibreOffice.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert WAV to text online?
To convert WAV to text: 1) Go to voxscriber.com. 2) Drag the .wav file into the upload area. 3) Wait for automatic transcription. 4) Review and export. No need to convert WAV to another format first.
Does 8kHz WAV (call center/PBX) work?
Yes. Call center and PBX recordings, typically in mono 8kHz G.711 (PCM format), are transcribed with good accuracy. Quality may be slightly lower than higher-resolution recordings, but speech intelligibility is preserved.
How long does it take to transcribe a 1-hour WAV?
For 1 hour of WAV audio, transcription takes about 3-5 minutes. Upload may take longer depending on file size (uncompressed WAV can reach 300 MB/hour).
Can WAV recorded in Audacity be transcribed?
Yes. WAV files exported from Audacity, Adobe Audition, Reaper, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, and GarageBand are fully compatible. A sample rate of 16kHz or higher is recommended for maximum accuracy.
Can I transcribe medical dictations in WAV?
Yes. VoxScriber is used by physicians, psychologists, and therapists to transcribe WAV dictations. Diarization can separate doctor and patient in recorded consultations.
Is stereo or mono WAV better for transcription?
Both work equally well for transcription. The system converts stereo to mono internally if needed. If the recording has separate channels per participant (split-stereo interviews), use diarization for better speaker separation.
