Hi, are raw .wav files available for Common Voice by any chance (instead of mp3)?

Thanks,  
Peter

If you mean the originals then no, I don’t believe so, because they are posted to the datastore as MP3 files. I suspect that’s what you were after.

However if you simply mean you’d like to access files in wave format then you can of course convert them with a number of tools/libraries.
