About MMEV

MMEV is a voice compression/decompression engine which enables real-time processing on an embedded processor. It is based on a multimodal multipulse excitation vocoder developed jointly by Asahi Kasei and Georgia Institute of Technology (USA), and uses proprietary Asahi Kasei technology to achieve higher sound quality and to enable compatibility with both 8 kHz and 11 kHz sampling rates.
  Features
 
High compression ratio with high sound quality, achieved through variable-rate compression.
Support for 8 kHz and 11 kHz sampling rate.

MMEV8 for 8 kHz sampling
MMEV11 for 11 kHz sampling
MMEV8/11 for 8 or 11 kHz sampling

Variable bit rate

Bit rates may be configured as below, enabling 1:10 to 1:18 compression ratios with 16-bit PCM data
7–13 kbps with MMEV8
10–17 kbps with MMEV11

Real-time encoding possible with micro-controllers

ANSI C-compliant interface

  Platforms
 
Windows 95/98/Me, Windows NT/2000, XP, Windows CE, µ-iTRON

Micro-controllers (ARM, SH, TX), Windows PC

  Target applications
  Voice guidance, voice memo, phone ansewering messages, voice mail, games, etc.
