Hey

Is there any way to convert a .wav file into .txt file using MATLAB? Please help.

Thanks!

% Create WAV file in current folder for this test
load handel.mat
hfile='handel.wav';
wavwrite(y, Fs, hfile)
clear y Fs

% Read the data back into MATLAB
[y, Fs, nbits, readinfo] = wavread(hfile);

% Save as ASCII text file
save('handel.txt', 'y', '-ASCII')

Thank you so much for this :)

But may i know what load handel.mat is for?

[Wayne King]

He's just giving you an example of a sound file that you can load and then save as a .wav file.

[Andreas Goser]

Yes. Example only, as I do not know if there is a WAV file in each and every MATLAB installation.

Ok thank you very much for your help! :)

I am sorry to disturb you on this query again but i am not very clear about what y is in the wavwrite step..

Can you kindly let me know about this?

Thank you!
