Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Truespeech is a proprietary audio codec produced by the DSP Group. It is designed for encoding voice data at low bitrates, and to be embedded into DSP chips. True speech has been integrated into Windows Media Player, and is the format used by the voice chat features of Yahoo Messenger. A Truespeech decoder was implemented in the 0.5 release of FFmpeg . A codec is a device or computer program capable of encoding and/or decoding a digital data stream or signal. The word codec is a portmanteau of 'compressor-decompressor' or, more commonly, 'coder-decoder'. A codec (the program) should not be confused with a coding or compression format or standard - a format is a document (the standard), a way of storing data, while a codec is a program (an implementation) which can read or write such files. In practice "codec" is sometimes used loosely to refer to formats, however.
