The Speex project aims to build an open-source, patent-free voice
|
|
codec. Unlike other codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is
|
|
specially designed for compressing voice at low bitrates in the
|
|
8-32 kbps/channel range. Possible applications include Voice over
|
|
IP (VoIP), internet audio streaming, archiving of speech data (e.g.
|
|
voice mail), and audio books. In some sense, it is meant to be
|
|
complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.
|
|
|
|
GStreamer is released under the LGPL.
|
|
|
|
This package is part of the 'good' plugins for GStreamer. It provides the
|
|
speex plugin, which allows speex encoding.
