Digital Speech Standard (DSS)

Overview

DSS is a proprietary compressed digital audio format.

It was developed by the International Voice Association, a co-operative venture by Olympus, Philips, and Grundig.

This file format provides basic functions like recording, playing, rewinding, etc.

It can record in either insert or overwrite mode.

DSS format meets the need for high-quality, professional speech solutions.

The high compression rate makes it easy to store many audio files in a small disk space and to exchange them by e-mail.
