- 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.
- Texinfo is a markup language and file format used to produce both online documentation and printed manuals from a single source file. It is the official documentation format of the GNU Project, allowing output to formats like HTML, PDF, and Info. The .texi extension marks source files written in this markup before processing by the texinfo toolchain.
