Frequently asked questions
Is WAV better than MP3 for transcription?
Often, yes. WAV is uncompressed, so no audio detail is lost — which can improve transcription accuracy, especially for quiet speakers or distant microphones. If you have both, upload the WAV.
Are large WAV files supported?
Yes. WAV files are much larger than compressed formats, and Jackob.ai is built to handle long, large recordings.
Can I export subtitles from a WAV transcription?
Yes. Every transcription can be exported as SRT or VTT subtitle files in addition to DOCX, PDF, and TXT.
