Hello there, I am using the Public Domain program Sound Tools on the Sun station to record speech. The speech samples are saved in a mu-law 8bits/sample encoding rule with a standard ".au" header precceding the data. What I would like to know is what the format of the speech samples is? In other words, I am reading the bytes that correspond to 8-bit speech samples but I don't know whether they are in signed binary format(2's complement) or unsigned binary format or anyother format. I have tried both binary signed (2' complement) and unsigned but it doesn't work. Does anybody know how the samples are stored? I would appreciate any relevant response. Thanks, Internet Address: rsl11@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu Bitnet Address: rsl11@ukanvm.bitnet
