whatsappaudioR - Convert Compressed Mobile Voice Notes into Tidy Spectrogram Data
Reads compressed '.opus'/'.ogg' voice notes -- the kind
produced by WhatsApp and similar VoIP messaging apps -- and
converts them directly into tidy data frames of spectrogram and
spectral-feature data, ready for analysis or modelling. Also
provides a function to simulate the lossy compression such
messaging apps apply, for testing how well a signal survives
it. Built for a bioacoustic pest-detection pipeline
(SonicScout) but has no dependency on that domain.
