| File Description |
Audio file saved by a digital voice recorder or speech recognition program; stores voice audio data in a highly-compressed format; can be written in insert or overwrite mode; commonly used for professional transcript environments, such as law firms.
DSS files may be written with metadata, such as the date and time of dictation, audio length, and priority.
The DSS file format was originally developed under the International Voice Association (IVA), which was comprised of Olympus America, Philips Electronics, and Grundig; DSS files can be converted to more common audio file types, such as .WAV files. |
