## Made for recordings that matter

Uncompressed audio usually means the recording was important. The transcript should match.

### Field & studio recorders

Zoom H-series, Tascam, dictaphones - WAV output uploads directly. The higher source quality shows up as higher transcript accuracy.

### Interviews & testimony

Speaker diarization labels who said what; timestamps let you cite the exact second. Export as text with time codes for review.

### Big files, handled

WAV is heavy - a minute is roughly 10MB. Files up to 200MB upload directly; longer sessions can be split or exported as MP3/M4A from your recorder.

## Pay only for what you use

Top up once. Credits never expire. No subscription. One wallet for transcription, scans and captions.

New accounts get 15 free minutes to try - credits work for scans and captions too.

## Frequently asked questions

Not covered here? [Ask us](https://speecho.app/contact/), we usually reply within a business day.

**How do I convert a WAV file to text?**

Upload the WAV directly to Speecho in your browser. The AI transcribes it with timestamps and optional speaker labels; you can copy the result, download TXT/SRT/VTT, summarize it or translate it.

**Does WAV transcribe more accurately than MP3?**

Often slightly, yes - WAV is uncompressed, so nothing is lost before recognition. The difference matters most for quiet voices, multiple speakers or noisy rooms.

**What is the maximum WAV file size?**

Up to 200MB per upload, which is roughly 20 minutes of 16-bit stereo WAV. For longer sessions, export from your recorder as MP3/M4A (also supported) or split the file.

**Can multiple speakers be separated?**

Yes. Enable speaker diarization and each line of the transcript is labeled by speaker - you can rename the labels afterwards.

**How much does WAV transcription cost?**

You pay for audio duration, not file size: from $0.83 to $1.25 per hour of audio, with no subscription. Credits never expire.

## Your WAV recording, in writing.
