What is a DSS file?
DSS (Digital Speech Standard) is a highly compressed audio format developed by Olympus and used primarily for voice recordings. It was designed to store dictation efficiently while maintaining intelligible speech quality. Because of its small file size, DSS became widely used in digital voice recorders and legal or medical transcription workflows.
DSS files prioritize clarity over fidelity, making them ideal for spoken word content but unsuitable for music. Newer versions like DSS Pro (DS2) offer improved quality and encryption features for secure audio documentation.
How to open DSS files
DSS files can be opened with Olympus DSS Player, Philips SpeechExec, and some transcription tools. They're also supported in audio editors like Audacity with the proper plugin.
To convert DSS files to MP3 or WAV, AnyConv makes the process simple and fast online.

What is a WAV file?
WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard for storing raw and uncompressed audio developed by Microsoft and IBM. It uses PCM encoding and is known for its excellent sound quality and wide compatibility.
WAV files are widely used in professional audio environments, including recording, editing, and mastering, but they take up more space than compressed formats like MP3 or AAC.

WAV files are supported by nearly all media players including Windows Media Player, iTunes, VLC, and professional audio software like Adobe Audition and Logic Pro.
To reduce file size, you can convert WAV to MP3 or AAC easily using AnyConv.
