How do I convert a CAF file to SPH format?

Upload your CAF file, choose SPH as the target format, and click Convert. For speech processing, ensure PCM sample rate and bit depth match your Kaldi pipeline. The converter will output a NIST SPHERE file with a proper header.

Why should I convert CAF to SPH instead of using CAF directly?

SPH (NIST SPHERE) is the standard format for speech corpora in tools like Kaldi and HTK. CAF is Apple's native audio container, often used in macOS apps. Converting to SPH makes your audio compatible with large-scale speech recognition pipelines and simplifies dataset sharing.

Does CAF to SPH conversion preserve the original audio quality?

Yes, if your CAF file contains uncompressed PCM audio, the conversion is lossless—it copies the PCM samples exactly and repackages them in SPH's header. However, if the CAF is compressed via AAC or Apple Lossless, the audio will be decoded and re-encoded to PCM, which may alter the bitstream. Sample rate, bit depth, and channel count remain intact; metadata is not preserved, as SPH focuses on acoustic data.

Is CAF-TO-SPH free to use?

Yes, CAF-TO-SPH on LetsConvert is 100% free with no registration or hidden fees required.
