+Speex is an Open Source/Free Software patent-free audio compression
+format designed for speech. The Speex Project aims to lower the barrier
+of entry for voice applications by providing a free alternative to
+expensive proprietary speech codecs. Moreover, Speex is well-adapted
+to Internet applications and provides useful features that are not
+present in most other codecs. Finally, Speex is part of the GNU
+Project and is available under the revised BSD license.
