AWB is the .AWB file extension used for AMR-WB (Adaptive Multi-Rate Wideband) audio files. AMR-WB is a technology designed and patented by VoiceAge Corporation. It is currently used as the standard method of encoding speech for mobile phone applications and other telecommunication services. AWB files are compressed audio files that use the AMR-WB codec, which utilizes low bitrates without sacrificing the quality of the audio.
Technical Specifications
AMR-WB audio files are saved using an 8 or 16 bit mono/stereo type of compression at 12.2 kHz or 16 kHz sample rate. It achieves its highest quality at a bitrate of 12.65 kbit/s, while still allowing different options for low bitrate streaming applications. The codec is optimized to compress human speech signals and has a higher transmission rate than its predecessor - Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR). This makes it an excellent format for high-quality voice recordings that require low file sizes. It is supported by RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, and Apple QuickTime Player. Similar formats to AWB are MPC, S3M, IT, MOD, XM, WMA.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AWB) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AWB extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AWB file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AWB extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AWB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AWB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AWB file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AWB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AWB file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AWB file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
