- 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.
- Primarily created for Python, RST is a text file that uses reStructuredText markup language for in-line program documentation. It can also be used to develop standalone documents and simple web pages.
