Overview
WAV is the default for many recorders and DAWs — huge, lossless, and awkward to share. MP3 is the exchange format. If your real goal is notes or captions from that WAV, File Transcribe transcribes it directly so you are not stuck waiting on a convert-only tool.
Upload WAV from this page into Audio to text. Edit the draft, export TXT, and add SRT/VTT after you sign in.
WAV in, text out
Compression to MP3 helps email. Transcription helps publishing. Do the valuable step in one browser flow.
