- 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 VOC file format is an audio file format primarily used by Creative Technology's Sound Blaster sound cards for storing digital audio data. Developed by Creative Labs, the VOC format was widely used for storing sound samples and music files on PCs during the late 1980s and early 1990s. VOC files support mono and stereo sounds at various sampling rates and can contain multiple sound snippets and silence segments, making them versatile for a range of audio applications, including video games, sound effects, and voice.
