SRI file

Dear Experts,

My clients need to open and listen to a group of .sri files, created by VXI Voice It recorder. The problem is, the product has not been manufactured, and supporting website for player is no longer available. I found many file converters that claims to handle SRI, but when I try these converters, it will not open SRI files. I have tried SONY Voice Editor, Dragon Naturally Speaking, NCH Switch, etc.
Please advise.

This is a cut-and-paste from https://support.bytescribe.com/hc/en-us/articles/204460859-Can-WavPlayer-play-sri-files-created-by-the-Voice-It-handheld-recorder-

Files created by the Voice It recorder (.sri files) must first be converted to .wav file format before they can be played with the WavPlayer. A free utility exists from the manufacturer of Voice It that will convert .sri files to .wav files. This utility can be downloaded from the following site: http://www.vxicorp.com/support/voiceit_software.asp#128 You will simply need to convert the files first, and then use the Bytescribe WavPlayer to transcribe them. Here is what is stated on the manufacturer's web site:

"The VTR compressed voiced files (.sri files) are in a proprietary compressed format and cannot be accessed and played with other software programs. However, non-recorder owners who receive .sri files from a recorder owner can download a free Voice It Player which will decompress and play .sri files."

I can't find either the utility referenced above or the player referenced above as well.

Dear dbrunton, thank you for looking into this, I did download WavePedal Player, but it gives me an error when I try to open any .sri files I have. I will contact the company you suggested and see if they can transcribe or convert them.

Dear BillDL, thank you for your detailed information, I was also not able to download the executable file, but I believe at one point there were some players we could download for playing or converting.

Thank you yballan. I hope you can get the file converted.
