Supported audio formats

VoiceQC accepts uncompressed WAV audio. Other formats (MP3, M4A, FLAC, OGG, AAC, WMA) are silently filtered out — re-export to WAV before upload. Multi-file selection is supported.

VoiceQC accepts WAV audio files only — files identified by your browser as audio/wav. Multi-file uploads are supported; drop or pick as many as you like at once.

FormatAccepted?
WAV (any sample rate, bit depth, channel count the browser tags as audio/wav)Yes
MP3, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, or anything elseNo

For best results, export your audio as 16-bit PCM WAV before uploading.

The Choose Files picker filters by WAV in the OS dialog, so non-WAV files don’t appear there to begin with. If you need to upload from a folder mixed with other audio formats, the picker is the safer path.

The browser sends each file’s name as part of the upload. A handful of characters get sanitized on the way in (<, >, :, ", /, \, |, ?, *) — you’ll see the sanitized version in the Session items table and in any CSV export. If you’ve uploaded a Script, make sure the filenames in the script CSV match what ends up in VoiceQC after sanitization.

Today there’s no surfaced size or length cap in the UI — VoiceQC accepts what your browser uploads. Long files take proportionally longer to transcribe, so a 30-minute file will take measurably longer than a 10-second clip. Very long files may bump up against your Plan limits for character count.

These would simplify some workflows but aren’t accepted yet. Track them in your team’s wishlist:

  • MP3 / M4A / AAC ingest
  • Folder upload (drag a whole folder; today you select files within it)
  • ZIP / batch archives

If you have a strong need for one of these, let the VoiceQC team know via the Feedback form.
