Understanding AIFF audio files and transcription

AIFF is the uncompressed audio standard for Mac and professional recording environments

what is aiff format

What AIFF Is

AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is an uncompressed audio container developed by Apple. Files typically carry the .aiff or .aif extension. Because AIFF stores raw PCM audio without lossy compression, it delivers bit-perfect sound quality and is the default export format in many Mac-based recording applications and professional audio tools.

When AIFF Is Used

Music producers, broadcast engineers, and audio archivists rely on AIFF for mastering, editing, and archival because the format preserves every detail of the original recording. AIFF is the standard on Mac for exporting loops, field recordings, and voiceovers before final encoding. If maximum audio fidelity is required and storage is less of a concern, AIFF is the preferred choice.

Why Transcribe AIFF

Converting AIFF speech to text unlocks the spoken content for indexing, analysis, and repurposing. Producers can generate show notes or episode transcripts, sound designers can document session notes, and researchers can analyze interview data without manual playback. A searchable text version of high-fidelity audio also enables compliance checks, keyword analysis, and accessibility features like captions - all while preserving the original uncompressed master.
