Frequently Asked Questions about converting WAV to text

  • What is an WAV File?

    A WAV file is a digital audio file format developed by Microsoft and IBM. It is one of the most common formats used to store and play back digital audio, with the exception of high-quality music, which is often stored in lossless formats like FLAC or ALAC. A WAV file can also be used as a container format for other audio types, such as PCM, MP3, OGG Vorbis and others.
