- Description
- A lossy file format used to compress speech in Global Standard for Mobile (GSM) telecommunications. It is very effective for reducing audio file size. However, encoding and decoding audio signals severally is discouraged as the final product will have a lot of noise. Popular with some voice mail software but it is CPU intensive.
- The dot file extension is associated with Microsoft Word, a popular word processing software developed by Microsoft. Specifically, a dot file is a Word Document Template, which serves as a blueprint for creating multiple documents with a similar format, layout, and structure. These templates can include predefined styles, formatting, text, and even images that can be used to create new documents with a consistent look and feel, saving time and ensuring uniformity across documents for personal, educational, or business purposes.
