Good morning, everyone. We have three topics today: budget, timeline and new hires.

Let me start with the budget. Marketing spend in the third quarter came in slightly under plan.

About the WAV format

	WAV
Full name	Waveform Audio File Format (RIFF)
Type	Usually uncompressed PCM audio
Codec	PCM (sometimes G.711 or ADPCM)
Typical source	Professional recorders, studio recordings, phone system and call recordings
Note	Files are large; WAVs over the limit are downsampled to 16 kHz mono in your browser

Common situations

A 10-minute 44.1 kHz stereo WAV is about 100 MB; the tool reduces it in your browser to a size that is plenty for speech.
8 kHz phone recordings are supported too, although telephone quality can lower accuracy slightly.
