How do I convert an OPUS file to SPH format?

Select your .opus file on the converter page, choose your desired output settings like sample rate and bit depth, then start the conversion. The tool decodes the OPUS compression and wraps the audio in a NIST SPHERE header, producing a .sph file for use in speech analysis software.

Why would I need to convert OPUS to SPH?

OPUS is a highly compressed lossy audio format ideal for streaming. SPH (NIST SPHERE) is an uncompressed PCM format used in speech recognition and phonetic research. Converting OPUS to SPH allows you to use audio in tools like Praat or Kaldi that accept SPH files, ensuring compatibility with scientific workflows.

What happens to audio quality when converting OPUS to SPH?

The audio is decoded to uncompressed PCM and stored in an SPH file. Sample rate and channels are preserved, but since OPUS is lossy, the resulting waveform does not exactly match the original source. The converter writes standard SPHERE headers with correct encoding parameters for seamless use in research applications.
