Audio File Formats

There are many audio file formats. The most popular formats we receive are dss; wav; mp3; wma and dct (dct is an encrypted audio file format).

The file formats that we are currently able to transcribe are wav, mp3, dct (encrypted dictation), ra and rm (RealAudio), sri (VoiceIt), dss (Olympus, Lanier and Grundig), au, aif, vox, mp2, vox, compressed wav (including PCM, uLaw, ALaw, ADPCM, CELP, SBC, Windows Media, DSP TrueSpeech, GSM 6.10), msv and dvf files (Sony Recorders), Philips Digital Recorder format, Sanyo Digital Recorder format; as well as audio produced by means of the Express Dictate Windows Dictation Software, Phone-In Dictation Software, Pocket PC Dictation Recorders and Palm OS Voice Recorders.

Your choice of recording device will determine which audio file formats you will be using. Many of these devices have both a generic and a proprietary file format option when saving the audio file. If you use an audio file format that is not listed below, please contact us and we will check for compatibility with our software.
