- 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.
- A Word 97-2003 Template (WPT) is a file format used by Microsoft Word 97-2003 to save and store pre-formatted document templates. WPT files contain pre-defined formatting, layout and text, which can be quickly applied to new documents created with the template.
