The Audio Works StationTM is recognized as the standard against which other audiotex production tools are measured. It was designed specifically for the production of telephone audio and has unique features required for reliable audiotex preparation.

Operation of the Audio Works StationTM is straightforward and requires only a moderate PC on which to operate.

For telephone companies, and studios, in North America and abroad, the Audio Works StationTM is the professional solution they reach for.

Software Features Record audio to 16 bit linear files which provide archive masters. This allows clean audio to be published in multiple formats.

File formats supported include:
16 bit linear
Dialogic ADPCM (24, 32Kbps)
Dialogic Ulaw Alaw (48, 64Kbps)

G.711 64Kbps Ulaw & Alaw
CCITT G.721 32Kbps ADPCM
CCITT G.726 ADPCM
*.WAV file Import / Export
Import non-Dialogic telco files

Pure and VBase 40 indexed files may be published from the same recordings. Auto level control may be applied to indexed files.

Audio may be processed, a directory at a time, through the use of simple DOS batch commands. This methods leaves a permanent record of how your audio was produced.
