- 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.
- A WMA file is an audio file saved in the Advanced Systems Format (ASF) proprietary format developed by Microsoft. It contains Windows Media Audio and metadata objects such as the title, artist, album, and genre of the track. WMA files are similar to .MP3 files and primarily used for streaming music from the web.
