1 The Speex is a patent-free, Open Source/Free Software voice codec. Unlike other
|
al@19741
|
2 codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is designed to compress voice at bitrates
|
al@19741
|
3 in the 2-45 kbps range. Possible applications include VoIP, internet audio
|
al@19741
|
4 streaming, archiving of speech data (e.g. voice mail), and audio books. In some
|
al@19741
|
5 sense, it is meant to be complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.

15 The Speex codec has been obsoleted by [Opus](http://opus-codec.org/). It will
|
al@19741
|
16 continue to be available, but since Opus is better than Speex in all aspects,
|
al@19741
|
17 users are encouraged to switch.
