Convert AMR to TXT

Understanding AMR and TXT file formats

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is an audio file format commonly used for storing spoken audio, such as voice recordings. It is widely used in mobile devices for voice memos and other audio applications due to its efficient compression and ability to maintain quality at low bit rates.

TXT (Text) is a simple file format that contains plain text without any formatting. It is used for storing text data and is compatible with almost all text editing software. TXT files are often used for notes, documentation, and other text-based information.

Converting an AMR file to a TXT file is useful when you need to transcribe spoken audio into written text. This can be beneficial for creating transcripts of voice recordings, making the content accessible for reading, or for further text analysis.
