What is VOX file?
The VOX (Dialogic Voice Audio File) file extension is associated with the Dialogic - a hardware and software system for Voice over Digital Networks. It is a digital sound format developed exclusively to store voice information in 8-bit ISDN format files. VOX audio files are capable of storing up to 30 minutes of digital audio without any unnecessary overhead. [ ⏩ ] VOX file extension
What is M4A file?
The M4A file format is an audio file that is encoded using Advanced Audio Coding (AAC). It is a more efficient compression method than the earlier MP3 and was developed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). It provides for higher quality sound than other audio file formats because of its lower bit rate, making it ideal for streaming audio and storing audio files on portable media such as CDs. It is also widely used for sharing music over the internet. [ ⏩ ] M4A file extension
How to convert the file from VOX to M4A?
To successfully convert the VOX file to M4A, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.VOX). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case M4A (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than M4A).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. VOX to M4A. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting VOX files to M4A files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension M4A, while before this step we had the VOX file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new M4A file, or not.
