Voice compression

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Voice compression may mean different things:

  • Speech encoding refers to compression for transmission or storage, possibly to an unintelligible state, with decompression used prior to playback.
  • Time-compressed speech refers to voice compression for immediate playback, without any decompression (so that the final speech sounds faster to the listener).
  • Audio level compression refers to a sound recording effect which increases the perceived volume of a sound.
