Frequently asked questions
- What audio formats are supported?
- Most common formats are supported including MP3, WAV, FLAC, OGG, M4A, and AAC. The transcription engine converts internally, so no pre-processing is needed on your end.
- Is this suitable for confidential recordings?
- Yes. SnapOtter runs entirely on your own server, so audio files and transcripts never leave your network. This makes it ideal for legal depositions, medical dictation, or any sensitive recordings.
- How does it handle multiple speakers?
- The AI model is trained on conversational audio and handles speaker changes naturally. All processing is local, so even multi-hour recordings with multiple participants stay within your self-hosted environment.
