AUDIO FILE FORMATS


The NICO toolkit supports the following audio formats:

 
kth  Short ints, mono, with the KTH "standard" header (1024 bytes long). 
cmu  Short ints, mono, with the CMU header used in the early versions of TIMIT. Writing is not supported.
au  The NeXT/SUN (.au/.snd) audio format. Reading of mono, linear 16 bits, and u-law is supported. Writing is not supported.
wav The Windows (.wav) audio format. Reading of mono, linear 16 bits, and u-law is supported. Writing is not supported.
nist  Short ints, mono, with the NIST header (1024 bytes long) used in TIMIT. Writing is not supported.
binary  Short ints, mono, No header. This format can be customized by vaious switches in the different commands. For instance, the length of the header can be set by the user. That number of initial bytes will then be skipped.
