- 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.
- txt2tags is a plain-text markup format and the name of a Python tool that converts simply formatted text files into multiple output formats such as HTML, LaTeX, and wiki markup. It uses lightweight syntax similar to other markdown-like languages to denote headers, lists, and emphasis. It is commonly used for writing documentation that needs to be exported to several formats from a single source file.
