What an OGG is
OGG is a free, patent-free container that usually carries audio in Vorbis or Opus. Messaging apps and open-source programs use it a lot. The .oga extension is the same thing, but signals that it only contains audio.
Where they usually come from
The OGG files that reach this tool usually come from here:
- Telegram voice messages, which download as .ogg.
- WhatsApp voice notes, depending on the phone and how they’re saved.
- Open-source programs such as Audacity, which export as OGG Vorbis.
- Recordings made with some websites and browser extensions, especially in Firefox.
Tips
Before you upload it:
- Upload it as it is: converting it to MP3 doesn’t improve the transcript.
- If your player won’t open it, that doesn’t mean it’s broken: not all of them support OGG, and the tool does.
- If several people speak in the recording, the less they talk over each other, the better each one is separated.
