Well Wikipedia indicatesDigital Speech Standard (DSS) is a proprietary <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software> compressed <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_data_compression> digital audio file format <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_file_format> defined by the International Voice Association <https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=International_Voice_Association&action=edit&redlink=1>, a co-operative venture by Olympus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_company>, Philips <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philips> and Grundig Business Systems <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grundig_Business_Systems>. DSS was originally developed in 1994 by Grundig with the University of Nuremberg. In 1997, the digital speech standard was released, which was based on the previous codec <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec>. It is commonly used on digital dictation <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_dictation> recorders. Modern psychoacoustical codecs that perform nearly as well at only slightly higher bitrates have led to this speech coding standard being less used in modern voice recording equipment. > On Jan 21, 2020, at 1:47 PM, 'Kawal Gucukoglu' via MacVisionaries > <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> wrote: > > Please can someone also tell me if .DSS files can be opened by Windows or > MacOS please as I hve not used them but I might have to if I pass my > application to become an Audio Typist for a company. > > Thanks so much. > > -- > The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries > list. > > If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if > you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or > moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself. > > Your Mac Visionaries list moderator is Mark Taylor.
