When I run the transcribe_file_offline.py on a WAV file I get the error:

**Error: channel count must be 1**.

The WAV file is as follows:

file  /tmp/f1.wav
/tmp/f1.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 48000 Hz

Hi @tenjeeuk

Thanks for your interest in Riva

We currently do no support audio file has more than a single channel

Request to kindly to convert the audio file to mono channel, ie in tool/converter for Channels option: please use mono as opposed to stereo etc,

We recommend to record audio files with single/mono channel at first place, if not possible we can convert using some online audio format converter available

Thanks
