Understanding MP2 Transcription

MP2 remains a standard in professional broadcasting, archival storage, and legacy digital audio systems

what is mp2 file

Format background

MP2 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer II) encodes audio with moderate compression, preserving intelligibility for spoken content. Broadcast stations adopted the format in the 1990s for satellite feeds and digital transmission. Many archives still hold decades of MP2-encoded news, interviews, and cultural programs.

Where MP2 appears

Radio stations use MP2 for over-air digital radio (DAB) and studio workflows. Video production suites store MP2 as an audio track in MPEG transport streams. Government and institutional archives maintain large MP2 collections from the analog-to-digital transition era. Older recording devices and some European broadcast equipment output MP2 by default.

Value of transcription

Converting MP2 to text unlocks historical broadcast material for research, compliance, and content reuse. Text indexes make thousands of hours searchable in seconds. Subtitles generated from MP2 to SRT conversions improve accessibility and meet regulatory requirements. Archivists gain full-text search across entire collections, and journalists can quote historical sources accurately.
