- Single channel 16-bit PCM format used by HTK, a toolkit for building Hidden Markov Model speech processing tools.
- Compressed audio file similar to an .MP3 file, but offers several performance improvements; examples include a higher coding efficiency for both stationary and transient signals, a simpler filterbank, and better handling of frequencies above 16 kHz; maintains quality nearly indistinguishable from the original audio source.
