Another new experimental codec from Xiph.Org

So far he’s released RNNoise (a surprisingly good/fast denoising system) and LPCNet (a speech synthesis system along the lines of WaveNet, but fast enough to use realtime on commodity hardware). Now he’s built a codec out of LPCNet. “A Real-Time Wideband Neural Vocoder at 1.6 kb/s Using LPCNet” presents a new wideband speech codec built out of the best parts of a brutally speed and space efficient vocoder paired with deep-learning analysis and excitation.
