- The 8SVX file format, short for "8-Bit Sampled Voice," is an audio file type used primarily on the Amiga computer system. Developed as part of the Electronic Arts Interchange File Format (IFF), which was a versatile container format designed to hold various types of multimedia, 8SVX files specifically store 8-bit mono sound samples. These files are characterized by their ability to hold digitized sound data, such as musical compositions or sound effects.
- A lossy file format used to compress speech in Global Standard for Mobile (GSM) telecommunications. It is very effective for reducing audio file size. However, encoding and decoding audio signals severally is discouraged as the final product will have a lot of noise. Popular with some voice mail software but it is CPU intensive.
