What Audio Formats can be used with Aptela?

Aptela currently supports the following audio formats:
  • 8 kHz, 8-bit, mono, PCM wav
  • 8 kHz, 16-bit, mono, PCM wav
Customers who prefer to record their own audio messages (e.g. Call Tree, Custom Transfer Message, Hold Message, etc.) and not request custom recordings through Aptela must be sure that the recordings are in an Aptela supported format.

All custom recording requests through Aptela will be in the proper format.


Why do we use this format? 
The 8 kHz, 8-bit and 8 kHz, 16-bit formats are the common formats of the PSTN (public switched telephone network). VoIP does not have same bandwidth restrictions of calls traveling over the PSTN so VoIP-to-VoIP calls can realize better quality signals. As new codecs and signaling protocols are standardized, we will incorporate them into our technical infrastructure.


At this time, Aptela does not support MP3, ACC, WMA or other audio file formats.
