Psion Audio

Create WVE files from lossless TTA — for Psion organizers, EPOC, and Symbian applications.

Mobile Legacy

WVE works on vintage Psion and EPOC devices where TTA has no support at all.

Secure Files

TTA uploads are erased after conversion. WVE results are purged within 24 hours.

About formats

TTA (True Audio) is a real-time lossless audio compression codec developed by Aleksander Djourik, with its origins tracing back to the early 2000s. The format reconstructs the original PCM stream bit-for-bit upon decoding, guaranteeing that no sonic detail is lost during storage or transfer. TTA handles standard CD-quality audio as well as high-resolution content up to 32-bit integer samples, making it suitable for everyday listening and professional archiving alike. Processing speed is one of TTA's defining strengths — the codec achieves fast encoding and decoding without heavy CPU demands, keeping it lightweight even on older hardware. The file structure supports ID3v1, ID3v2, and APEv2 metadata tags, so track information and album art travel with the audio. Hardware support appeared in several portable players, giving TTA a practical edge over some competing lossless formats. The open-source reference implementation ships under the GNU GPL, encouraging community adoption and third-party integrations. While newer codecs like FLAC have captured a larger share of the lossless audio landscape, TTA continues to serve users who value its simplicity and transparent compression.

WVE is the audio format native to the Psion Series 3 family of personal digital assistants, released by British company Psion PLC beginning in September 1991. These clamshell PDAs included a built-in voice recorder, and all dictation functionality relied on WVE files to store captured sound. Each file begins with the ASCII signature "ALawSoundFile**" followed by a minimal header, then raw A-law encoded audio sampled at 8 kHz — a rate inherited from digital telephony standards. At 8000 bytes per second, a one-minute recording occupies just 480 KB, which was essential given that Psion devices stored data on SRAM cards typically ranging from 128 KB to 2 MB. The A-law encoding provides reasonable speech clarity within these tight storage constraints, prioritizing intelligibility over high-fidelity reproduction. WVE files can be converted to WAV or other modern formats using SoX, Awave Studio, or specialized Psion file utilities. While the format is firmly a product of early-1990s handheld computing, it holds historical significance as one of the first audio recording formats designed for pocket-sized consumer devices. Collectors and researchers studying mobile computing history occasionally encounter WVE files when recovering data from legacy SRAM media.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is WVE?

WVE is the audio format for Psion organizers and EPOC/Symbian devices — storing voice notes and recordings.

Why convert TTA to WVE?

Psion development and Symbian legacy projects may need WVE audio that TTA decoders cannot produce.

What plays WVE?

Psion devices, EPOC emulators, and legacy Symbian tools support WVE audio playback.

Is quality limited?

WVE was designed for portable devices with limited storage — quality reflects those device constraints.

Is it secure?

TTA uploads are deleted immediately. WVE results are removed within 24 hours.
