- 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.
- Textile is a lightweight markup language that uses simple text formatting conventions to generate structured HTML. It is commonly used in content management systems, wikis, and forums for writing formatted text without directly using HTML tags. Files with the .textile extension contain plain text written using this markup syntax.
