In my opinion time delay is not even necessary, it is a matter of choosing the right compression at the right level.
If I had time I would start the following project: * choose an existing speech-to-text converter (open source) * use cbh compression on the text, as normally no more than 250 different words are used anyway, so you can code 1 word in 1 character... * use pskmail to transmit the compressed text with PSK125 arq. * choose an existing open source text-to-speech converter (festival?) You would save some 5 man-years of development with that approach. 73, Rein PA0R --- In digitalradio@yahoogroups.com, "Leigh L Klotz, Jr." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > One thing to try might be an encoding that takes more time to send than > the audio it encodes.
