DSS, which stands for Digital Speech Standard, is the file format used by Olympus voice recorders. If you have a WAV file that you want to use on your Olympus voice recorder, you'll have to convert that WAV file to a DSS file by using the Switch Audio File Converter.

Visit the NCH Software website (see Resources). Download and install the Switch Audio File Converter program to your computer. This is freeware, so you do not have to pay for it.
