Rev.ai Audio File Too Large

Audio file size exceeds the maximum allowed limit.

Understanding Rev.ai and Its Purpose

Rev.ai is a powerful Voice AI API tool designed to convert audio and video files into text. It is widely used for transcription services, enabling developers to integrate speech-to-text capabilities into their applications. Rev.ai offers high accuracy and supports multiple languages, making it a preferred choice for businesses looking to automate transcription tasks.

Identifying the Symptom: Audio File Too Large

When using Rev.ai, you might encounter an error indicating that the audio file is too large. This is a common issue faced by developers when the file size exceeds the maximum limit set by the API. The error message typically reads: "Audio file size exceeds the maximum allowed limit."

Exploring the Issue: Why File Size Matters

The Rev.ai API has a file size limit to ensure efficient processing and resource management. Large files can lead to increased processing time and may affect the performance of the API. Understanding this limitation is crucial for optimizing your application's interaction with Rev.ai.

File Size Limitations

The maximum file size allowed by Rev.ai is typically around 2GB. Files exceeding this limit will trigger the "Audio File Too Large" error, preventing successful transcription.

Steps to Fix the Audio File Size Issue

To resolve the "Audio File Too Large" issue, you can either compress the audio file or split it into smaller parts. Below are detailed steps to achieve this:

Compressing the Audio File

  1. Use audio compression software like Audacity or FFmpeg to reduce the file size.
  2. Open the audio file in the software and choose a lower bitrate or sample rate to decrease the size.
  3. Export the compressed file and ensure it is within the 2GB limit.

Splitting the Audio File

  1. Utilize tools like Audacity to split the audio file into smaller segments.
  2. Load the file into the tool and use the "Split" function to divide the file into parts under 2GB each.
  3. Save each segment separately and upload them individually to Rev.ai for transcription.
