How do I convert an SPH file to AU format?

1. Upload your SPH file using the file picker. 2. Select 'AU' as the output format. 3. Click 'Convert' – the tool will decode the SPH audio and pack it into an AU container. 4. Download the converted .au file once the process completes.

Why should I convert SPH files to AU instead of keeping the original format?

AU is natively supported by many legacy Unix audio tools, Java applets, and some hardware players, whereas SPH is mainly used in speech research and speech recognition datasets. Converting expands compatibility for playback and editing without special software.

How does SPH to AU conversion handle audio quality and metadata?

The converter preserves sample rate, bit depth, and number of channels because SPH and AU both support PCM and μ-law codecs. If the input uses another codec, it is decoded and re-encoded in AU, which can cause minor quality loss. Non-audio metadata from the SPH header (e.g., recording description) is not carried over to the AU file.
