The Speex codec is deprecated! Xiph recommends you use the superior Opus codec instead.

Website

The Speex homepage has all the project info.

There is also a Speex FAQ.

Hardware

See Speex hardware for a partial list of supported hardware

Usefulness, Speex DSP

In 2009, the source code of Speex was split into Speex Codec and Speex DSP.

While the Codec part has been deprecated since 2013, the Speex DSP part is still useful and still under development.

It contains among others resampling code (written originally 2007 for the Speex codec) used by several other audio projects, including Opus Tools (actually OPUS TOOLS 0.1.9 from 2014 contains an outdated version of the resampling code from 2009 with minimal modifications).

Tasks

These are some improvements that could be made to Speex.

Let us know if you'd like to work on one of them.

    • Improve noise suppression (get rid of musical noise) and residual echo suppression
    • Improve packet-loss concealment (PLC)
