Adaptive Multi-Rate Codec (.amr)
Adaptive Multi-Rate Codec (AMR) is a file extension used primarily in voice applications, including VoIP, audio messaging, and mobile phone telephony. Originating from the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in 1999, AMR files enable efficient compression and transmission of speech audio. The codec dynamically adjusts bit rates during transmission to optimize audio quality and network capacity. Its efficient bandwidth utilization and compatibility with various communication standards have made AMR a preferred choice for many modern communication systems.
