VoIP Calls Double In Quality

Posted by Hemos on from the sounding-better-and-better dept.

FreeSWITCH, an open source soft-switch and IVR platform, have announced that they can support 16khz audio calls thus doubling the potential voice quality. They have had successful tests with a conference bridge, a pass-through SIP call and an IVR that reads RSS news feeds with the Cepstral Text-To-Speech Engine."

Voip-Info.org has a good list of business VoIP providers.

  1. So what? by Spazmania · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So what? If you're going to up the sampling rate why not go directly to 44khz stereo (CD quality audio) and be done with it? Jumping from the telephony industry standard 8khz to 16 khz is thoroughly uninspired.
