speex - speex.org A Free Codec For Free Speech
DESCRIPTION
speex is an Open Source/Free Software patent-free audio compression
format designed for speech. The Speex Project aims to lower the barrier
of entry for voice applications by providing a free alternative to
expensive proprietary speech codecs. Moreover, Speex is well-adapted to
Internet applications and provides useful features that are not present
in most other codecs. Finally, Speex is part of the GNU Project and is
available under the revised BSD license.
In essence, Speex is to speech what Vorbis is to audio/music. Unlike
many other speech codecs, Speex is not designed for mobile phones but
rather for packet networks and voice over IP (VoIP) application. File-
based compression is of course also supported.
To access the API documentation, you must install the developer version
of the package.
