Convert GSM to VOX

Understanding GSM and VOX file formats

GSM is a file format used for storing audio data compressed using the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) codec. It is commonly used in telephony applications due to its efficient compression, which allows for reduced file sizes while maintaining reasonable audio quality.

VOX is an audio file format that uses Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation (ADPCM) to compress audio data. It is often used in telephony systems and voice mail applications because of its ability to efficiently store voice data.

How to convert GSM to VOX

Converting a GSM file to a VOX file involves decompressing the GSM audio data and then recompressing it using the ADPCM codec. This process can be accomplished using various audio conversion software tools.
