Mobile Voice is a 2.4 KB audio codec (compressor/decompressor). It is the recommended
format because it provides good voice recording and takes up far less storage space than
PCM.
Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) provides slightly better sound quality. However, PCM re-
cordings may take up to 50 times more storage space than Mobile Voice recordings. PCM
cannot be used to create recordings that are embedded in notes.
