How do I convert a WAV file to SPHERE format?

Upload your WAV file using the converter, select SPHERE as the target format, and choose the audio encoding such as PCM 16-bit for lossless output. Click 'Convert' to process, then download the resulting .sph file.

Why convert WAV to SPHERE instead of keeping it as WAV?

SPHERE is a NIST standard used for speech and audio databases like TIMIT. It supports metadata headers for transcriptions and is compatible with speech processing tools such as Praat and Kaldi, which often require this format for input.

Will I lose audio quality if I convert WAV to SPHERE?

If you select PCM (uncompressed) encoding, sample rate, bit depth, and channel count are preserved exactly, so there is no quality loss. If you use mu-law companding, the audio is compressed to 8-bit, which reduces file size but introduces some loss. For archiving, choose PCM.
