I could not figure out how to use speexdec.exe 1.2.3 in piped mode in order to avoid the creation of the potentially large intermediate *.wav or *.pcm files. Any

this is not really a development question, but i didn't find another mailing list to ask it. any idea why size of wav file doubles when it is encoded to speex and back to wav: $ ls -ls testi.wav 40 -rw-r--r-- 1 foo foo 40674 May 4 14:38 testi.wav $ speexenc --denoise --agc --quality 10 testi.wav testi.spx Encoding 8000 Hz audio using narrowband mode (mono) $ ls -ls testi.spx 20

Dear Jean-Marc and Peter: Thank you both very much for your time and advice. I did not realize that Lame MP3 code has a -r option (without reading its code). I have tried the suggested command lines verbatim with the added -r option, along with other combination of option settings. I could not figure out how to eliminate the distortion in the result, like voice turning either high or low

Please consider using 16-bit 16kHz (wideband) instead. It's a huge increase in audio quality and the bitrate is still very low, especially if you take advantage of Speex features such as VBR. 8kHz seems totally inappropriate to me for desktop streaming audio, let alone 8-bit samples. Or perhaps your recording equipment is an original Sound Blaster from 1989? (Even that could record at

This is a really good point, and definitely a recurring theme on this mailing list. :) I wonder, what are some better options for handling this issue, other than to keep saying "just use 8/16/32kHz"? - Extend Speex to support other sample rates (seems unlikely..?) - Integrate a resampling algorithm into libspeex - Maintain a list of recommended resampling libraries that work well

On my personal web pages hosted by my ISP I have a collection of speex files with names ending, as usual, in '.spx'. My ISP does not provide for scripting or CGI but thanks to the "Home-Brew Streaming" idea of Dr Tak Auyeng, www.drtak.org/teaches/ARC/speex/, my friends with Windows XP can listen to such a recording without the need for a prior download of the whole file and

Hi all, I've another trivial request: Is there any particular reason why speexenc and speexdec return 1 on successful completion? It would be preferable if they returned 0 unless there were errors, to be consistent with other *nix utilities and to allow for easier scripting (eg speexdec sample.spx && cp sample.spx somewhere) Would anyone be against this? TIA, Bernard. --

OK, that was a stupid error in the le_int prototype. It's fixed in svn now.

Hi all, i'm going to try to create an app using libspeex (Speex 1.1.10) and Visual Studio and just have a few questions. First, what's the difference between libspeex and libspeex_dynamic? Do I need to include both projects in my new workspace? Next, how do I enable fixed_point using libspeex? Am I correct in assuming that an ARM processor would be able to record speech as speex files

Hello, I am a master's student using Speex for my thesis research. My question is this: I am running speex from a command line in Unix and I want to encode/decode numerous files at once. How can this be done since the speexenc requires [options] input_filename.wav output_filename.spx and the reverse extensions for the decoder. Sorry I am much more of a hardware (read: EE) then a CS guy. I

Hi -- I'm looking at adding Speex decoder and encoder support to the Miles Sound System, a commercial library used by game developers on various platforms including PCs, the Mac, and game consoles. As part of my initial evaluation, I've gone ahead and downloaded the 1.0.4 and 1.1.1 Win32 binary distributions and played around encoding and decoding various files with the speexenc.exe and

Hi, I am experiencing some unfortunate problems when encoding WAV files to spx using version 1.0.4. A "click" which is not present in the original WAV file is added to the end of the spx file. Is this a known problem, and if so, which version of the encoder should I switch to... and if I have to switch the encoder, will I also have to switch the version of the decoder? Sincerely,

It seems that with the file I posted, the decode noise persists all the way back to 1.1.1, when using --enable-fixed-point. When we configure with --enable-fixed-point-debug, the decode seems to be correct, even on 1.1.6. Hope this helps, and thanks for your time!

Hi! I'm looking for a documentation of the .spx file type? I want/need to know how such a .spx file is built up. I want to create a .wav to .spx converter. And additionally a .spx player. I already searched the net and the speex site but I couldn't find anything useful. Maybe I'm missing something? Thanks for your help! Best regards, Peter -- Neu: GMX FreeDSL Komplettanschluss mit

Dear experts, I am trying to understand the structure of the Speex .spx file, so I can packetize each frame in one packet for example, and in the receiving end, I can decode a file that has all the received frames (some of them may lost). I tried to figure out what is the delimiter used to separate the frames but I could not so far. I also tried to deleted some data from the .spx file or change

Hi, I just started using speex recently and I've been having problem with Speex ver. 1.1.10 decoder. I used Speex to encode a wav file to spx then decode it back to wav file to see the voice quality that results from different speex options. Somehow, I couldn't get the original wav file back. I used both Speex ver 1.1.6 and ver 1.1.10 to both encode and decode, despite the same output
