Thanks Of course, I have a billion vectors from G.72x, GSM, QCELP, EVRC,... I wonder what the copyrights and licenses say about using them for a different vocoder...

I was also wondering if there is a standard set of input sequences people are using to test Speex. I haven't stumbled upon it/them yet.> -----Original Message----- > From: owner-speex-dev@xiph.org [mailto:owner-speex-dev@xiph.org]On > Behalf Of Jean-Marc Valin > Sent: Tuesday, February 25, 2003 7:24 PM > To: speex > Subject: Re: [speex-dev] Quality > > > > I was wondering if the developers were using anything to > "objectively" test > > the quality of the speex vocoder.

[speex-dev] Higher Bandwidth at lower quality settings
Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experimented with Speex's wideband (16kHz) mode at lower quality settings. In particular I have been using quality 3, and with wideband input files the resultant frequency spectrum is limited to about an upper end around 3.5kHz (almost telephony quality bandwidth). Has anyone tried increasing the spectral bandwidth at the expense of lowering the narrowband quality (ie using two very low bitrate codebooks, one for narrowband and one for the 4-8kHz band - to match the same bitrate at quality 3)? If you have can you comment on the quality? (Looking through the Speex code, I noticed that at lower quality settings wideband mode basically reverts to narrowband.) Anyway, this is an experiment I plan on trying, but I was wondering if anyone had any tips.
