Frequently Asked Questions
Does cutting audio reduce its quality?
No. HappyScribe cuts the file without re-encoding, so the clip has exactly the same quality as the original.
What audio formats can I cut?
Any of 40+ audio formats, and the clip is saved in the same format you upload. For a specific format, you can also use the dedicated MP3 cutter, WAV cutter, M4A cutter or OGG cutter.
Can I make a ringtone with it?
Yes. Cut the part you want (about 30 seconds works for most phones) and download it. Android uses MP3 files directly. iPhone ringtones need the M4R format.
Can I remove a section from the middle?
Not in one step. The cutter keeps one continuous section. To drop a middle part, cut the two halves separately, then join them with the HappyScribe audio joiner.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes, in Safari on iPhone and Chrome on Android. No app needed.
Is there a length or file size limit?
There is no length limit. Long recordings simply take longer to upload.
