Recommended Settings

For Voice Messages

  • 128 kbps CBR for excellent voice clarity
  • VBR Quality 6 for efficient file sizes
  • Optimized for WhatsApp/Telegram conversions

For Voicemail Archiving

  • 96-128 kbps CBR recommended
  • Good quality with reasonable file size
  • Perfect for long-term storage

Pro Tips

  • AMR is telephony-grade (8kHz mono) - high bitrates won't improve quality
  • VBR Quality 6 provides excellent results for speech
  • Output quality is limited by the 8kHz source bandwidth

Frequently Asked Questions

What is AMR format?

AMR (Adaptive Multi-Rate) is a telephony-grade audio codec optimized for speech encoding. It's commonly used in mobile voice messages (WhatsApp, Telegram) and voicemail systems. AMR is typically mono, 8kHz, designed for voice, not music.

What is the difference between CBR and VBR?

CBR (Constant Bitrate) maintains the same bitrate throughout, resulting in predictable file sizes. VBR (Variable Bitrate) adjusts the bitrate based on audio complexity, often providing better quality at smaller file sizes for speech content.

Which mode should I use?

For voice messages and speech, VBR quality 6 provides excellent results with smaller file sizes. Use CBR 96-128 kbps for predictable file sizes or compatibility requirements.

What bitrate is recommended for voice?

128 kbps CBR or VBR quality 6 provides excellent quality for speech. Since AMR is telephony-grade (8kHz mono), higher bitrates like 192 kbps won't improve quality significantly as the source is bandwidth-limited.

Why are high bitrates not recommended?

AMR is a telephony-quality format (8kHz sample rate, mono) designed for voice, not music. Using bitrates above 128 kbps won't improve quality as the source audio lacks the frequency range to benefit from higher bitrates.
