- Description
- Digital Speech Standard (DSS) is a proprietary compressed digital audio file format defined by the International Voice Association, a co-operative venture by Olympus, Philips and Grundig. DSS was originally developed in 1994 by Grundig with the University of Nuremberg. In 1997, the digital speech standard was released, which was based on the previous codec. It is commonly used on digital dictation recorders. Modern phycoacoustical codecs that perform nearly as well at only slightly higher bitrates have led to this speech coding standard being less used in modern voice recording equipment.
- An RM file is a multimedia file used by RealPlayer, an audio and video playback and streaming program. It contains audio or video data or a link to a streaming media file, which is played back as it is downloaded. RM files are commonly used for streaming content over the Internet such as video and Internet radio.
