Question
Which file types can I use for prerecorded audio with the Voice API?
Applies To
- Voice API
- Prerecorded Audio
Answer
You can use a prerecorded audio file in wav, mp3, ogg, oga, or r16 format. If the audio file included in a Voice API call is not playing, it is very likely due to an encoding incompatibility. Mp3 files must have ID3 header.
While all formats of mp3, ogg, oga, and r16 should be supported, only the following is supported for wav:
- Unsigned 8 bit PCM
- Signed 16 or 24 bit PCM
- U-law or A-law encoding
