al@19741 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.
al@19741 6
al@19741 7 To use the Speex command line tools:
al@19741 8
al@19741 9 ```
al@19741 10 % speexenc [options] input_file.wav compressed_file.spx
al@19741 11
al@19741 12 % speexdec [options] compressed_file.spx output_file.wav
al@19741 13 ```
al@19741 14
al@19741 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.
