File Extensions - Sony ICD-MS515 Resource Manual

SECTION I: Transcoding
The purpose of transcoding is to convert the file format from one form to another to allow
the dictation to be listened to by others who don't have the ability to work with the
original recording format or used as part of another program such as using the recording
in a PowerPoint® slide.
