- Description
- SPHERE (SPeech HEader Resources) is a file format defined by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) and is used with speech audio. SoX can read these files when they contain μ-law and PCM data. It will ignore any header information that says the data is compressed using shorten compression and will treat the data as either μ-law or PCM. This will allow SoX and the command line shorten program to be run together using pipes to encompasses the data and then pass the result to SoX for processing.
- Created by Paragon Decision Technology, AMB files are data files that contain identifier declarations, procedures, and core model functions. They can also be referred to as AIMMS (Advanced Integrated Multidimensional Modeling Software) Model files as they as based on AIMMS modeling proprietary language.
