- 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.
- The .sou file extension is associated with SBStudio II, a music composition and editing program. A .sou file represents a SBStudio II Sound File, which contains audio data used by the software. These files are typically used to store instrument sounds or sound effects that can be integrated into music tracks created within the SBStudio II environment. The format is designed specifically for use with the SBStudio II software, making it a specialized audio file type for music production within this specific program.
