Speex: A Free Codec For Free Speech
نویسنده
چکیده
The Speex project has been started in 2002 to address the need for a free, open-source speech codec. Speex is based on the Code Excited Linear Prediction (CELP) algorithm and, unlike the previously existing Vorbis codec, is optimised for transmitting speech for low latency communication over an unreliable packet network. This paper presents an overview of Speex, the technology involved in it and how it can be used in applications. The most recent developments in Speex, such as the fixed-point port, acoustic echo cancellation and noise suppression are also addressed.

Speaker recognition on lossy compressed speech using the speex codec
This paper examines the impact of lossy speech coding with Speex on GMM-UBM speaker recognition (SR). Audio from 120 speakers was compressed with Speex into twelve data sets, each with a different level of compression quality from 0 (most compressed) to 10 (least), plus uncompressed. Experiments looked at performance under matched and mismatched compression conditions, using models conditioned ...
متن کاملImproved Noise Weighting in CELP Coding of Speech - Applying the Vorbis Psychoacoustic Model To Speex
One key aspect of the CELP algorithm is that it shapes the coding noise using a simple, yet effective, weighting filter. In this paper, we improve the noise shaping of CELP using a more modern psychoacoustic model. This has the significant advantage of improving the quality of an existing codec without the need to change the bit-stream. More specifically, we improve the Speex CELP codec by usin...
متن کاملSpeaker Recognition from Coded Speech Using Support Vector Machines
We proposed to use support vector machines (SVMs) to recognize speakers from signal transcoded with different speech codecs. Experiments with SVM-based text-independent speaker classification using a linear GMM supervector kernel were presented for six different codecs and uncoded speech. Both matched (the same codec for creating speaker models and for testing) and mismatched conditions were in...
متن کاملInfluence of Languages on Celp Codecs Performance
This paper investigates the performance of speech codec's that uses linear predictive coding (LPC), over different languages. Investigations show that most low-rate (8kbits/s and below) speech coders show bias towards nonaccented English. When the coders are used for heavily accented English or other languages, significant performance degradation is noted. In order to judge the performance of t...
متن کاملAudio Compression and Its Impact on Emotion Recognition in Affective Computing
Enabling a natural (human-like) spoken conversation with technical systems requires affective information, contained in spoken language, to be intelligibly transmitted. This study investigates the role of speech and music codecs for affect intelligibility. A decoding and encoding of affective speech was employed from the well-known EMO-DB corpus. Using four state-of-the-art acoustic codecs and ...
