Question

I have a Wav file that I’m creating via the Microsoft Kinect that I’m saving to the desktop. I need to convert it to FLAC format so I can send it up to the Google Cloud to be processed from Speech2Text.

I haven’t found any WAV to FLAC encoders in C#.

Is there any way to convert a WAV file to a FLAC file in C#?

Answer 1

Try to use LibFlac (sourceforge). The FLAC encoder is an open-source C/C++ project. In order to use it in a C# application you have to use PInvoke to call its application programming interface LibFlac.dll.
