What educational software tools we are developing in the ASU Speech and Audio Lab?
We are currently developing educational simulation software which helps students to explore and understand standardized speech coding algorithms. MATLAB simulations have been created for several internationally standardized algorithms, in particular • FS-1015 LPC-10e, 2.4 kbps • FS-1016 CELP, 4.8 kbps • IS-54 VSELP, 8 kbps (North American digital cellular networks) • ETSI GSM, 13 kbps (European digital cellular networks) • G.721 ADPCM, 32 kbps • G.722 wideband, 48/56/64 kbps • G.728 LD-CELP, 16 kbps • IS-127, CDMA EVRC, variable rate The simulation software provides an interactive environment that allows users to display time- and frequency-domain representations of input and reconstructed speech on any MATLAB host computer with a sound card. Scores associated with subjective and objective performance measures are computed using simulation tools. The tools are used in undergraduate and graduate DSP courses to introduce speech coding fundamentals.
