Speex dev - Sep 2010 - Using Speex Echo Canceller

Hi

Is it possible to use only the speex echo cancellation module w/o using the
speex codec?

Here's the scenario:
1. I have my voice recorded in PCM audio file format
2. I want to cleanup the recorded voice by removing any echo included in the
audio file/buffer
3. can I just use the ff APIs?
   - SpeexEchoState* speex_echo_state_init()
   - int speex_echo_ctl()
   - void speex_echo_capture()
4. then, will it be possible to encode the output buffer from
speex_echo_capture() to any codec?
    Like G711? GSM? etc....

I'm quite new to audio format concepts/development, so if you have any ideas
your advice is highly appreciated..

Thanks in advance

Hi

 

Yes, it's absolutely unnecessary to use speex codec. You can encode the
echo cancelled auido data with any codec you want.

The Echo Canncelation API is here -
http://www.speex.org/docs/api/speex-api-reference/group__SpeexEchoState.
html

I would advice you to look at speex_echo_cancellation function but you
will have to sync playback and capture streams by yourself.

 

I've used GSM, iLBC and Speex codecs with Speex AEC and it works fine.

 

Best Regards,

Anton A. Shpakovsky

Hi Anton

Thanks for the info...

What if I use this function do I still need to sync the playback and
capture?
Assuming that the captured voice (*rec) already contains the echo which I
need to cancel out...
--------------------------------
void speex_echo_capture (SpeexEchoState *st, const spx_int16_t *rec,
spx_int16_t *out)

Parameters:
        st     Echo canceller state
        rec     signal from the microphone (near end + far end echo)
        out     Returns near-end signal with echo removed
----------------------------------

thanks & regards,
Chris Adoremos
