Transcribe a fileWhat WAV actually is
WAV is uncompressed audio, usually raw LPCM samples. Nothing is thrown away, which makes it the highest-fidelity option and the largest on disk. It is the default output of digital audio workstations and many field recorders.
WAV gives the model the cleanest possible signal, with no compression artifacts to work around, so accuracy is as high as your recording allows. The one thing to know is the format limit: the classic WAV header caps a file at 4 GiB, which is roughly 6.8 hours of CD-quality stereo. A very long WAV can hit that ceiling and need splitting before it is complete. For most recordings you will never come close.
Where these files come from
Field recorders, digital audio workstations, and studio sessions where the audio is captured uncompressed for editing.
