     1.4 +The Speex is a patent-free, Open Source/Free Software voice codec. Unlike other
     1.5 +codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is designed to compress voice at bitrates
     1.6 +in the 2-45 kbps range. Possible applications include VoIP, internet audio
     1.7 +streaming, archiving of speech data (e.g. voice mail), and audio books. In some
     1.8 +sense, it is meant to be complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.
     1.9 +
    1.10 +To use the Speex command line tools:
    1.11 +
    1.12 +```
    1.13 +% speexenc [options] input_file.wav compressed_file.spx
    1.14 +
    1.15 +% speexdec [options] compressed_file.spx output_file.wav
    1.16 +```
    1.17 +
    1.18 +The Speex codec has been obsoleted by [Opus](http://opus-codec.org/). It will
    1.19 +continue to be available, but since Opus is better than Speex in all aspects,
    1.20 +users are encouraged to switch.
