Upon finishing recording, there is a good chance that the format of your recording isn’t compatible with Yeastar Cloud PBX and you would need to convert it to the right format first before you can upload it into the server. There are at least three options.

  1. Use itunes to do file conversion. (We recommend this method as the converted voice sounds more clear)
  2. Use wavepad to do file conversion
  3. Use https://g711.org/ to do file conversion.

iTunes is an application from Apple. You’ve set up a custom import setting first, next convert your audio into this format.

WavePad is audio editing software, you can convert audio files via WavePad, then upload the audio files to your PBX.

  2. Click File > Save File As.
  1. Set the Save as type to .wav or gsm, click Save.
  2. For the .wav type, set the encoder options according to the requirements of custom audio files, click OK.
