Codec 2 is an open source 2400 bit/s speech codec (LGPL licensed).

Quickstart
----------
-$ cd codec2/src
-$ make
-$ ./c2enc ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.bit
-$ ./c2dec hts1a_c2.bit hts1a_c2.raw
-$ ../script/menu.sh ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.raw
+1/ Listen to Codec 2:
-For playback testing, menu.sh requires either the 'play', 'aplay' or
-'ossplay' programs to be installed (see http://sox.sourceforge.net/,
-http://www.alsa-project.org/, or http://www.opensound.com/ respectively).
+ $ cd codec2/src
+ $ make
+ $ ./c2demo ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.raw
+ $ ../script/menu.sh ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.raw
+
+ NOTE: For playback testing, menu.sh requires either the 'play',
+ 'aplay' or 'ossplay' programs to be installed (see
+ http://sox.sourceforge.net/, http://www.alsa-project.org/, or
+ http://www.opensound.com/ respectively).
+
+2/ Compress and Decompress a file:
+
+ $ ./c2enc ../raw/hts1a.raw hts1a_c2.bit
+ $ ./c2dec hts1a_c2.bit hts1a_c2.raw
Programs
--------
+
+1/ c2demo encodes a file of speech samples, then decodes them and
+saves the result.
-1/ c2enc encodes a file of speech sample to a file of encoded bits.
-One bit is stored in the LSB of each byte. Note this is unpacked,
-i.e. 51 bits/frame consumes 51 bytes/frame on disk.
+2/ c2enc encodes a file of speech samples to a compressed file of
+encoded bits.
-2/ c2dec decodes a file of bits to a file of speech samples.
+3/ c2dec decodes a compressed file of bits to a file of speech
+samples.
-3/ c2sim is a simulation/development version of codec 2. It allows
-selective use of the various codec 2 algorithms. For example
+4/ c2sim is a simulation/development version of Codec 2. It allows
+selective use of the various Codec 2 algorithms. For example
switching phase modelling or LSP quantisation on and off.
