A DVF file is a digital voice recording file created by Sony ICD series digital voice recorders and Sony SoundForge. It stores compressed voice audio data using Sony's proprietary compression codec, commonly used for dictation, meetings, and personal voice memos recorded on Sony hardware.
DVF files use Sony's proprietary digital voice compression format, which encodes audio at low bitrates optimized for voice recording. The format stores audio in mono at varying sample rates with metadata including recording date, time, device model, and file indexing information.
