[opensuse] Covert image of wave to audio
![](https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/c8b5fd3e5b29813725509a325cacd33d.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hi All, I reckon this is a long shot, but here goes... I have a copy of a recent ECG which I would like to extract into a usable form. Basically, I'd be looking for a program which would take the image file of the trace and output a wav (or other suitable filetype) analogous to an OCR program 'reading' an image to text. Does anyone know of any such software, or even something which would allow me to do it manually?

However, notice that this will not make the beep-beep you hear from an ECG. That's some kind of level or step detector. The program above would be the first step, but then you need something else. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Well, no - that's not what I want it for (I'd generate that with a simple audio loop setup...) I'm hoping to use the trace as an "F-Curve" to control or influence an animation. JDD has put me on the right track - I was thinking "wave" rather than digitizing a graph...

If it is really a ".WAV" format, use "audacity" -- it will show you the wave forms and then let you store it in various others (don't know which are supported now as not used it in a while), but for playing with the wave form, it would have a fair number of options. if you want to convert to 'flac', use 'flac'. When I want MP3, I've used 'lame'... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It's NOT a wav - it's a scanned image of a printed ECG trace. I know all I need to know about converting between media formats of the same TYPE but image to wave isn't the same type. Although it turns out I should have been thinking "graph to wave"... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
