- Description
- The Portable Voice Format (PVF) is a digital audio file format primarily used for storing voice recordings. PVF files are designed to encapsulate voice data at various bit rates, making them suitable for applications where voice clarity and file size are critical, such as voicemail systems, interactive voice response systems, and other telephony applications. Unlike more common audio formats that aim for high fidelity and music playback, PVF focuses on the efficient encoding of speech, optimizing for intelligibility and compact file size.
- The .sou file extension is associated with SBStudio II, a music composition and editing program. A .sou file represents a SBStudio II Sound File, which contains audio data used by the software. These files are typically used to store instrument sounds or sound effects that can be integrated into music tracks created within the SBStudio II environment. The format is designed specifically for use with the SBStudio II software, making it a specialized audio file type for music production within this specific program.
