About the format
Full-detail audio, ready for transcription
WAV commonly stores uncompressed audio and preserves more recording detail than compressed formats. The tradeoff is file size, so short clips and focused spoken recordings fit the 25 MB limit best.

Questions
WAV transcription FAQ
Why are WAV files larger?
WAV often stores audio with little or no compression. That can preserve detail but also reaches the 25 MB upload limit more quickly.
Should I convert WAV to MP3 first?
Not if the WAV is already under 25 MB. Keeping the original can avoid an extra conversion step and preserve recording detail.
Can I download the transcript as WAV?
No. Your audio remains audio; VoxText downloads the transcript as a UTF-8 TXT file.
