- 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.
- 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.
