Down sizing a .wav file as a .wav file: If your version of Windows (we don't know which version you are using because you did not tell us) came with Sound Recorder and your .wav file is not too large (we don't know how large it is because you did not tell us), load the .wav file of interest into Sound Recorder. If the .wav file is very, very large, this might take some time during which you might think that your computer has locked up. Be patient.
Note: Some folks may tell you that Sound Recorder is limited to files of very short duration. Give it a try and see whether or not they are correct. If and when the .wav file has loaded into sound recorder,follow these steps: Open the File menu Select Save As Tab to and press the Change button Tab to and open the Attributes combo box There, you will be able to up and down arrow through several sets of attributes from which you can select attributes that will render a smaller file unless your file already consists of the smallest attribute combination. Below is a shortened sample of how the attributes list will probably be presented. Attributes: 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo 187 kb/sec 44.100 kHz, 16 Bit, Stereo 172 kb/sec 48.000 kHz, 8 Bit, Mono 46 kb/sec 48.000 kHz, 8 Bit, Stereo 93 kb/sec 48.000 kHz, 16 Bit, Mono 93 kb/sec Choosing attributes with smaller numbers will usually render a smaller .wav file. However, a smaller .wav file may not have sound quality as good as the larger file. After choosing the new attributes, press the appropriate buttons to exit the dialogue and save the new version of the file. You might want to save the new version under a different name to prevent overwriting the original file until you decide if the new file is satisfactory. hth Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.BRL" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, September 10, 2009 6:22 AM Subject: [Blind-Computing] how to downsize wav file and speech friendly CDburner Greeting all, 1.
