Developed by the International Voice Association, this is a standardized file format for digitized speech. Digital Speech Standard files store information in a high-compression format. You can record an insert or overwrite the sound; the file can also be filled with metadata. This format offers two modes: “Overwrite” and “Enable”. Digital Speech Standard allows for creating voice files suitable for sending via e-mail. This format is powered by IBM ViaVoice software, which enables speech recognition.

AMR (Adaptive Multi Rate): adaptive encoding with variable bitrate

This information compression format allows for optimizing speech encoding. Files in the Adaptive Multi Rate format can be created using phones and smartphones. AMR files are mostly used for voice recordings. The main advantages of the format are the large number of encoding and decoding rates, as well as the small size of the resulting content. With the help of appropriate software, an Adaptive Multi Rate file can be converted into any other audio format.
