Tasks
These are some improvements that could be made to Speex. Let us know if you'd like to work on of them.
- Speech/signal processing (DSP skills required)
- Write a better perceptual enhancer (work has begun)
- Improve packet-loss concealment (PLC)
- Re-write the built-in voice activity detector (VAD)
- Improve the 2.15 kbps vocoder mode (there are even 4 unused bits left to use!)
- Algorithmic optimizations (see if some searches can be simplified/approximated)
- Complete fixed-point (programming skills and basic DSP skills)
- Wideband
- VBR
- Rest of the narrowband modes
- More...
- Tune (requires only time, headphones and the ability to re-compile Speex)
- Noise weighting filter
- Perceptual enhancement
- Features (only C knowledge required)
- Implement maximum VBR bit-rate
- Implement peeling (write functions to strip some of the bits)
- Documentation (requires time and basic writing skills)
- Use questions from the mailing list to create a better FAQ on the wiki
- Update the Speex manual based on recent papers
- Improve libspeex documentation
- Write good example code
