Using the Speech compression option

The speech compression option exports sounds using a compression specially adapted to speech.

To use speech compression:

1 | In the Sound Properties dialog box, choose Speech from the Compression menu.
2 | For Sample Rate, select an option to control sound fidelity and file size. A lower rate decreases file size but can also degrade sound quality. Choose from the following options:
| 5 kHz is acceptable for speech.
| 11 kHz is recommended for speech.
| 22 kHz is acceptable for most types of music on the Web.
| 44 kHz is the standard CD audio rate. However, since compression is applied, the sound will not be of CD quality in the Flash movie.
