Kwave, alternative Linux à Windows Voice Recorder

Mis à jour le

Notre avis

Kwave is a capable replacement for Windows Voice Recorder if you need more control than basic recording. It handles recording and playback reliably, but its real strength is editing—useful for users who want to trim, clean up, or enhance voice memos. However, its interface is more complex than the minimalist Windows Voice Recorder, making it overkill for users who only need to capture quick notes. If you're comfortable with audio tools and occasionally edit recordings, Kwave is a solid Linux-native choice.

Ce qui change

  • Kwave has a steeper learning curve due to advanced features

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Voice Recorder

Windows Voice Recorder typically saves in M4A or WAV. Kwave supports WAV natively and can open MP3, FLAC, Ogg, and Opus. M4A files are not explicitly listed, but if encoded as AAC in an MP4 container, they may require additional codecs. Most voice recordings saved as WAV from Windows can be opened directly in Kwave. For reliable transfer, convert M4A to WAV or FLAC on the Windows side first.
