Selecting WAV Compression Formats

To save your disk free space, you can convert you WAV files into a compressed format. There are several different formats. To select a format, open your WAV file on Sound Recorder, click the File-Properties menus, and then click the Convert Now button. Here is more detail about WAV compression formats:

DSP Group, Inc. Truespeech

Featuring real-time decompression but is not good enough at the compression process. The best choice to compress human voice, but not for music. Use on the WAV file that you want to insert into a document, worksheet, or mail message.

MS GSM 6.10 Audio

Featuring real-time compression and the best choice to record sounds using the Sound Recorder.

MS CCITT G.711 A-Law and U-Law

It has compression ratio 2-to-1 and compatibility with the US and Europe telephones standard.
