WAV Transcription with AI
WAV is uncompressed audio — the standard for studio sessions and professional field recordings, and the cleanest possible input for transcription. Jackob.ai transcribes WAV files directly — upload the recording and get an accurate, timestamped, speaker-labeled transcript in minutes.
It works for studio recordings, field interviews, and broadcast audio, in 98 languages. One upload gives you a document (DOCX, PDF, TXT), subtitles (SRT, VTT), and an AI summary.

Frequently asked questions
How accurate is WAV transcription?
Accuracy depends mainly on recording quality, background noise, and the number of speakers. Clear speech transcribes very well. Test with your own recording on the free plan — no credit card is required.
My WAV file is huge — should I compress it before uploading?
Not necessary: uploads up to 5 GB are supported, which covers roughly 8 hours of CD-quality mono WAV. If you’re over the limit or on a slow connection, converting to FLAC halves the size with zero quality loss — both formats upload directly.
Can I get the WAV transcript as a Word document, PDF, or JSON?
Yes. Every transcription exports as DOCX (opens in Microsoft Word and Google Docs), PDF for polished sharing, plain TXT, and structured JSON with timestamps and speaker labels for developers — plus SRT and VTT subtitles. All formats come from the same upload, so you never re-transcribe.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. The free plan lets you transcribe a real WAV recording each month with no credit card, so you can judge the accuracy on your own audio before paying.
Are my files kept private?
Yes. Files are processed securely, are never used to train AI models, and can be deleted from your account at any time.
