AMR
Adaptive multi-rate compression
Adaptive Multi-Rate (AMR) is an
audio data compression scheme optimized for
speech coding. AMR was adopted as the standard speech codec by
3GPP in October 1998 and is now widely used in
GSM. It uses
link adaptation to select from one of eight different bit rates based on link conditions.AMR is also a file format for storing spoken audio using the AMR codec. Many modern mobile telephone handsets will allow you to store short recordings in the AMR format, and some commercial programs exist to convert between this and other formats such as
MP3, although it should be remembered that AMR is a speech format and is unlikely to give ideal results for other audio. The common
filename extension is .amr.

Amr
[Arthurian] Son of Arthur, allegedly slain (noted cryptically in an appendix to the Historia Brittonum) by his father in some unknown conflict. Said to be buried under a shifting mound in the Welsh region of Ercing near the source of the Gamber in present day Herefordshire. He is sometimes called Anir. The Welsh romance Geraint speaks of an Amhar, son of Arthur as one of four squires attending the royal chambers. Indubitably the same person, the relative unimportance of his stature (he is not even named first among the squires) is taken as a sign of his illegitimacy.
