Frequently Asked Questions - WAV Transcription

What is the maximum WAV file size?

We support WAV files up to 1 GB. For larger recordings, split the file by session or contact us for enterprise batch options.

How accurate is WAV transcription?

WAV's lossless audio quality enables our AI to reach up to 98% character accuracy on clear, well-recorded speech. Low-quality recordings or high levels of background noise may reduce accuracy to 85–95%.

Can you identify different speakers in a WAV file?

Yes. Speaker diarization detects and labels each unique speaker (Speaker 1, Speaker 2, etc.). Works reliably for 2–8 speakers in a single recording with clear audio separation.

Are timestamps included in WAV transcripts?

Yes. Timestamps are automatically inserted at the paragraph level. You can also enable word-level timestamps for frame-accurate sync.

How long does WAV transcription take?

A one-hour WAV file is typically transcribed in 5–10 minutes. Larger files (close to 1 GB) may take 15–20 minutes depending on audio length and server load.

Is my audio kept private?

Yes. All files are uploaded over an encrypted TLS connection, processed in an isolated environment, and permanently deleted after you download the transcript.
