    Introduction

    A proprietary variable codec audio file format designed for dictation by NCH Software. It has dictation header information and can be encrypted (often required by medical confidentiality laws). A free dct player, Express Scribe Transcription is provided.

    Comments

    The above are wave files - even if they have the mp3 codec they will have the ".wav" or ".dct" extension.

    Discrete cosine transform

    A discrete cosine transform (DCT) expresses a finite sequence of data points in terms of a sum of cosine functions oscillating at different frequencies. DCTs are important to numerous applications in science and engineering, from lossy compression of audio (e.g. MP3) and images (e.g. JPEG) (where small high-frequency components can be discarded), to spectral methods for the numerical solution of partial differential equations. The use of cosine rather than sine functions is critical for compression, since it turns out (as described below) that fewer cosine functions are needed to approximate a typical signal, whereas for differential equations the cosines express a particular choice of boundary conditions.

    In particular, a DCT is a Fourier-related transform similar to the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), but using only real numbers. DCTs are equivalent to DFTs of roughly twice the length, operating on real data with even symmetry (since the Fourier transform of a real and even function is real and even), where in some variants the input and/or output data are shifted by half a sample. There are eight standard DCT variants, of which four are common.

    Crushing

    by: Dogwood

    Everything I've ever done
    And everything I have
    Amounts to nothing
    Keeps on crushing you within
    Sometimes you want to be alone
    It won't find the time to understand
    And concentrate on everything you see
    If you think about it hard you'll know
