Codec overview:

Speex was developed as an open source standard in the year 2003. The codec operates on each 20 ms frame of 16-bit PCM speech signals sampled at 8 KHz, 16 KHz, or 32 KHz and generates a compressed bit-stream having bit-rates in the range of 2.15 kbps to 42.2 kbps respectively. Speex is based on Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) algorithm. The encoder provides an option of selecting the bit-rate using the quality index (varying from 0 – 10) and the degree of codebook search using the complexity index (varying from 0 - 10). The recommended complexity index is between 2 and 4. The decoder supports packet loss concealment and provides an option to generate either narrow band (8 KHz) or wide-band (16 KHz) speech output. Speex is designed for packet networks and voice over IP (VoIP) applications.

Development work may be ongoing. For the most current information on the performance specifications and availability of the implementation on various DSPs, please send your enquiry to sales@couthit.com. CouthIT reserves the right to make changes to the specifications or availability.
