Q: "I was sometimes sent several .DSS files for transcription but I cannot get the audio file converted to WAV format to work with my PC applications. Any tips would be greatly appreciated."

A: Just as MP3 for music, DSS is a proprietary compressed digital audio format designed specifically for speech, and is commonly used on digital dictation recorders or voice recording equipment. Most frequently-used media players may fail to read and open this file type. Stop pulling your hair out, next, I'll elaborate on how to convert DSS files to WAV step by step. Just Read on!

3 Simple Steps to Convert DSS Files to WAV

A senior member from a forum offered a fallback plan, that is, play DSS files using DSS Player Lite, officially provided by Olympus. Then record and export audio as WAV in Audacity. Really worked! However, it's a slightly cumbersome process, and the quality of recorded audio may not be satisfied. By contrast, WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro is an all-in-one video/audio processor that is capable of either DSS file playback or DSS to WAV conversion.

Step 1 - Add Multiple DSS Files

DownloadDownload, install, and run the application. Open the "Converter" module, and click "Add Files" to add your DSS files.

After loaded, you're able to play DSS file with the built-in media player by clicking each "Preview" window on the left side.

Note: As you can see, HD Video Converter Factory Pro is not as simple as the name implies. It's an all-in-one application integrated with five main modules: "Converter", "Downloader", "Recorder", "GIF Maker" and "Toolbox", which aim to help simplify video/audio processing work. Give each one a shot if you get interested.

Step 2 - Select WAV as Output Format

To convert DSS to WAV, navigate to the Format Profile on the right-hand side, click on the image to open the full list of 500+ predefined presets ranging from common video and audio formats to hot devices. Head over to "Audio" category and select "WAV" profile. Similarly, you're allowed to choose any preferred audio format right there to convert DSS to FLAC, M4A, ALAC, OGG, MP3, etc. as you wish, even to make a personalized ringtone.

Optional - Modify Parameters & Audio Editing

Each format profile has been optimized, simply choose one without extra settings. But if you have specific needs, click "Parameter settings" button underneath the Format Profile. On the new window, you can modify audio parameters like bitrate, encoder, channel, sample rate and volume in an intuitive way. Click OK to save your changes.

Moreover, this DSS to WAV converter is also outfitted with some basic editing features that allow you to trim, split audio into parts or merge audio files together.
