IntroductionWhat is the Speex ?

One kind of compression software (or API)

What is the main advantage of the Speex ?Good compression ratio (and variable)

What kinds of application need the Speex ?Audio file (ex.ogg, spx)VoIP

Why Speex ? (1/5)

320 bytes

PCMRTP

• 320 x 50 = 16000 (15.625 kb/sec)• Need compression !!

Why Speex ? (3/5)

2007/8/8 6From : http://www.speex.org/comparison/

Why Speex ? (4/5)Speex is based on CELP and is designed to compress

voice at bitrates ranging from 2 to 44 kbps. Some of Speex's features include: - Narrowband (8 kHz), wideband (16 kHz), and

ultrawideband (32 kHz) compression in the same bitstream

- Intensity stereo encoding - Packet loss concealment - Variable bitrate operation (VBR) - Voice Activity Detection (VAD) - Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) - Fixed-point port - Acoustic echo canceller - Noise suppression

Why Speex ? (5/5)Lossy

Depend on quality (and compression ratio)
