Vox audio file format(alvas.net)

submitted by alvasnet(550) 10 months, 10 days ago

Question: I found that your vox converter doesn't handle vox files from the Orator phone dictation system right. Answer: There are so many questions about Vox format. What is the Vox format? Vox audio file format is a headerless audio format data, which generally contains Dialogic_ADPCM, but may also include A-law, Mu-law, PCM, and any other type of audio data. It means that vox file doesn't have the header and extention ".vox" doesn't say anything at all. Therefore it is very important to know in which format you have the audio data in the vox file! See code below for the different types of Vox files... read more...

Resampling and noise(alvas.net)

submitted by alvasnet(550) 11 months, 16 days ago

Very often we have to change the sampling rate, number of channels and the size of a sample when converting from one format to another. You can use AudioCompression.Convert method for these purposes. Unfortunately, for the uncompressed PCM -> PCM this leads to a significant reduction in sound quality and appearance of extraneous noise. We can verify this by example... read more...

Alvas.Audio Readers.(alvas.net)

submitted by alvasnet(550) 11 months, 16 days ago

Audio Readers is a hierarchy of Alvas.Audio classes that implement IAudioReader interface used to read format and audio data. AudioReader is a base class for the readers that can read an audio data from the stream. This class is abstract. AuReader class reads an audio data from the .AU and .SND streams. AviReader class reads audio data from the Avi stream. WaveReader class reads WAVE (waveform audio format) data from the stream. RawReader class reads an audio data from the headerless stream. Slinear, Gsm, A-law, mu-law etc. For that, you need to specify explicitly the format of the audio data that they contain. Mp3Reader class reads audio data from the Mp3 stream. DsReader class reads audio data using DirectShow. List of supported formats can be expanded with additional DirectShow filters installed. Use Combined_Community_Codec_Pack, K-Lite_Codec_Pack or Ffdshow to expand the list of supported formats... read more...
