Vodeći format u programima za profesionalnu obradu govora
Uvođenje .dss-a označilo je uspostavljanje standarda kompatibilnosti za glasovne digitalne audio datoteke koji je drastično smanjio veličinu datoteke i vreme potrebno za njen prenos.

.dss smanjuju memorijske zahteve reduces memory requirements and transfer times with minimal quality loss and low energy consumption to about 1/12 of normal consumption. This high audio quality for speech recording, along with the high compression rate, result in easy handling of audio files.

The .dss format has several practical advantages:
• Less memory requirement for archiving
• Audio files can be transferred by email at high speed

• Possible to save additional information directly to dictations e.g. time, date, dictation length, priority etc

For professional speech applications .dss is the first choice with regards to a standardised and future-proof storage format for speech files.
