As I understand it, there are two separate ways to get VAD information from Speex: 1) Using the encoder. 2) Using speex_preprocess(). I present the following observations from an application developer's perspective. They may be wrong, in which case I would appreciate corrections. - The two VAD systems are implemented differently. - speex_preprocess()'s VAD provides more accurate

Hello. I have generated a dll out of speex-1.1.4 using VC++6. I did not want all the ogg/wave header in the encoded stream. So I have replaced to codes of speexenc/dec with that of sampleenc/dec from the manual. Thus now the dll accepts the raw input, encodes it and returns the encoded data. I also pass on nbBytes for each frame encoded to the decoder and no other information. I intialise the

For what it's worth, I've had significantly better luck with the WebRtc VAD. It's pretty good. http://code.google.com/p/webrtc/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fsrc%2Fcommon_audio%2Fvad%2Fmain%2Fsource In general, the WebRTC voice engine seems to be more sophisticated and mature than the Speex preprocessor (as opposed to the Speex codec, which is pretty good).

From 1.2rc1 source code: preprocess.c: /* FIXME: This VAD is a kludge */ st->speech_prob = Pframe; if (st->vad_enabled) { if (st->speech_prob > st->speech_prob_start || (st->was_speech && st->speech_prob > st->speech_prob_continue)) { st->was_speech=1; return 1; } else { st->was_speech=0; return 0; } } else { return 1; } AND case

Hi, I'm trying to use a denoiser on a wince with a FIXED_POINT defined. Denoiser works OK - it removes the noise, but then it unacceptable hurts a voice. Here is a code that I use: #define TEST_DENOISE_SAMPLES 2000 void test_denoise() { FILE *fin; FILE *fout; spx_int32_t rate=0; int chan=1; int fmt=16; int denoise_enabled = 1; SpeexPreprocessState *preprocess;

speex_preprocess() isn't covered in the manual, is it? But, it's very easy to use. If it returns non-zero, voice was detected.

Hi, Here are the next two patches for the data export. speex_get_psd should be applied after speex_get_agc_gain (sent in previous mail). It allows applications to get the power spectrum for the signal and the noise estimate. speex_get_prob should be applied last. It allows fetching the speech probability of the current frame (the value that the _PROB_START and _PROB_CONTINUE parameters are

I have been trying to understand how to get the VAD algorithm working. I sent an input stream of all zeros into the preprocessor but still got a return value of 1 indicating that speech was detected. Is this feature not available with the latest release? I thought at the very least it would detect this as silence and return 0 but that does not seem to be the case. Does anyone have any

Dear Jean, Thank you so much for reply my message. I am sorry the function return 38 is speex_bits_write(). This function doesn't work on one of my computers. But after I add the function speex_preprocess(), it works well. I am wondering what is the possible reason? What the function speex_preprocess() does? Another problem I have now is when I enable dtx and vad with function

Thanks for your reply. The platform is WindowsXP Professional with SP1. CPU is Celeron CPU 1.70GHz. Compiler is VC++ 6.0. I have enabled VAD and DTX . In this computer, speex_bits_write() still

Hello, first of all, sorry for the joke in the subject ;-) I have successfully update the speex library my software was using from 1.1.12 to 1.2beta1 (1.1.13). It is a VoIP software, where i set preprocessor VAD on and use the result of speex_preprocess() to determine if there is voice activity. I must say that it works fine...since i have update to the new version. Ive been testing, and

I would like to use speex_preprocess() for voice activity detection. I read the comments in speex_preprocess.h and the relevant paragraphs in the Speex manual. Is there anywhere I can find more information on how to use this function?

hi Tom, i downloaded your speex wrappers and they're really what i'm looking for! i really cannot worry about container support at the moment because i'm working with real-time audio, and hopefully toward VoIP when everything else is in order. im using waveform to capture data from the microphone. the raw PCM sample is stored in the WAVEHDR structure's member lpData, and this

Ronald, I recently wrote some wrapper classes for the Speex encoder and decoder for use with my VoIP program. I think they're pretty high level and easy to use. They handle all buffer allocation internally to make life easy. Here's a simple little example that happens to use VAD: // buf is float[] or short int[], buflen is multiple of frame size // (there is a getFrameSize() method

Hi all and Jean-Marc, Firstly thanks a lot to you for helps, at last I accomplished to use speex-1.2beta1 in my speech application. I try to understand speex source code and improve speech quality. The problem in my application (like many people in the list says) is noise. So I've added VAD in preprocessor as following: int param_enabled = 1; int param_disabled = 0; int sampling_rate
