# Clipping

Clipping is a form of waveform distortion that occurs when the amplification of a signal is too high to deliver a sample value that can be represented within 16 bits. Clipping has a severe impact on the frequency properties of the audio signal.

To identify clipping in audio files, display them with a waveform display tool.

There is no known method for recovering the original signal from clipped audio for speech-to-text requirements.
