Lossless input, best-possible accuracy
FLAC preserves every detail of the original recording, giving the AI the same pristine signal as WAV in a smaller file. For archival material you plan to transcribe, FLAC is an ideal storage choice.
Archives to text without conversion
Many transcription tools don't accept FLAC, forcing a conversion to MP3 that ironically degrades the audio first. ClapClip decodes FLAC natively — the lossless file goes in as-is.
Batch a lossless library
Oral-history collections and interview archives stored in FLAC can be batch-transcribed in one queue, producing a text index of an entire collection at zero cost.
