Private audio utility
See an audio waveform
Open an audio file to visualize its loud and quiet moments. Decoding and drawing happen locally, so the file never leaves this page.

What a waveform shows
A waveform maps amplitude over time. Taller peaks usually mean louder sounds; narrow quiet sections can reveal pauses, line boundaries, or edit points. It does not judge delivery quality, but it is useful alongside SceneDub's take comparison.
What does Waveform viewer do?
Inspect an audio file's amplitude over time without uploading it. A waveform helps locate quiet sections, strong peaks, and possible edit boundaries. It does not reveal the words being spoken or prove a recording meets a loudness standard.
- Input
- An audio file your browser can decode
- Output
- Waveform display and duration
- Processing
- Local browser decoding and drawing
A practical workflow
- Open a complete, supported audio file.
- Inspect peaks and quiet regions, then listen to confirm what they mean.
- Use the original audio in a transcription tool or editor if you need text or repairs.

Possible quiet speech, a pause, then louder audioA display alone cannot distinguish speech from background sound. Browser codec support and the original file determine whether decoding succeeds.

Frequently asked questions
Does the waveform viewer upload my file?
No. Decoding and waveform drawing happen locally in the browser.
What does an audio waveform show?
It shows amplitude over time, which can reveal loud moments, quiet sections, pauses, and rough edit points.
Can I export a waveform image?
Not in the current version. The tool is focused on quick inspection.
Why will my file not open?
The browser may not support the file's codec or container. Try a common format such as WAV, MP3, M4A, OGG, or WebM.
