Hello, in my project im using speex 1.2rc1 and the preprocessor VAD seems to only separate complete silence from not complete silence frames. The Speex Manual, you can read "The voice activity detector (VAD) provided by the preprocessor is more advanced than the one directly provided in the codec." but if you go to the source code in preprocess.c line 995 "/* FIXME: This VAD

Jesus, Unfortunately, FFT and magic algorithms don't work (yet?). You might want to try this if you're not satisfied with Speex VAD: http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/speex-dev/2008-August/006860.html It won't perform any miracles, but I think it works pretty well and is easy to tweak.

Hi Marc, Thanks for your quick response. So if VAD is enabled then VBR will be enable although it's a special VBR. How about take out the VAD code from the VBR and remove the code else?

Hello, I'm try to run speex on some ARM processor. I'd like to cut away some speex features including VBR, ABR and preprocessor while still supporting VAD/DTX. But I've found some puzzles in the source code regarding VAD as below, 1) there are VAD related codes in the source file preprocess.c. Will VAD still work If I don't use the source file preprocess.c? 2)The speex manual

Hi, When using the encoder function, speex_encode_int(st, in_short, &bits), with VBR disabled and VAD enabled, the function always return a 1. Also, when enabled DTX along with VAD enabled, most of the time the function return a 1 even when it is silence. Is there a way to change the sensitivity of the VAD by changing some parameters in the source code, so when it is silence, the

My data is speech sampled as pcm mono 32khz. I want to use vad for regulating the agc gain mechanism. So... if voice is not detected I just reduce the agc value in order to not amplify the 'silence' otherwise we just increase the agc value if it is below the minimum.

Sorry, VAD is still float, but if you're using the built-in one, float emulation should work (it's not very compute-intensive).

This works well. Thanks for the link. However I am curious about something. Speex requires a VAD for the VBR mode and the comfort noise preservation. Is the Speex portion for this different than the VAD result returned from the preprocessor call?

Thank you, but I am thinking about trying to move VAD implementation from 1.1.12 to 1.2. I'm not sure about how difficult it could be (maybe impossible due to Jean Marc has disappear). Have you tried this? Cecile. 2009/8/10 jesus <jmorion at toomeeting.com> > Hi Cecile, > > it seems it is a tabu theme, or nobody uses VAD on speex. I've tried > with external EasyVAD

Hi Cecile, it seems it is a tabu theme, or nobody uses VAD on speex. I've tried with external EasyVAD solution but the result was not as spected. Other users of the list suggest an algorithm to filter voice based on the power of the signal, but of course, it is not a voice activity detection. I am waiting also a solution for this, while so I use version 1.1.12. Regards. Cecile Dumotier

Hi, I decide to write to the list because of a strange behaviour when updating from version 1.1.12 to 1.2rc1. My software was running fine with version 1.1.12, but now I want to benefit from advances on AEC. After updating the library to 1.2rc1 and do few changes on my sources, I run the application and discovered that VAD doesn't work so fine as in previous version 1.1.12 (3 years ago). I

Hi All, I've run into a small hiccup in encoding my audios with Speex. When I encode audience laughter and applause with 'speexenc' (version 1.0.1), the result is quite acceptable... until I enable VBR. Then it distorts horribly. My understanding of VBR is that it frees the encoder to vary the number of bits emitted to better maintain the quality requested, and so I would have

Hi all: I was analysising the speex code these days and learned much from it. Thank you so much! But I have a question about VAD: After preprocess(denoise and agc are off, vad is on),the input pcm speech was distorted seriously.The input speech include ten syllables(one~ ten), but the output speech lost one! Can you tell me why? Please see the attachment about input and output: (See attached

Well, the best way is probably to turn VAD *and* DTX on. Then when there's silence, the speex_encode function will return zero, which

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).

Hello, I am attempting to use Speex in an iPhone application and running into an issue. I got speex to compile by following these instructions: http://codeforfun.wordpress.com/2010/04/29/compile-speex-for-iphone/ Next, I was able to record some audio and play it back. I then inserted a call to the speex preprocessor and am passing all of the audio buffers I receive from Audio Queue Services
