Hello Usman,

1/ Can you please send us a link that explains your project, who you are, and your University Department?  We are happy assist with student projects but need to be sure they are not defense related.

2/ Also pls ask a specific question - such as "can I substitute this part number (data sheet link) for SM1000 component XYZ".  You will have to do your homework first - working out which parts you need t substitute.

Hi, Everyone
I am final year student and want to design a same SM1000 hardware.
I am working on a hardware design of SM1000.
I am following the version F available online on GitHub Rowetel.
I face some problems in selecting components because components used in SM1000 previously not available in my country (Pakistan). Or some of the components not clearly find on internet.
Anyone here who guide me to found alternate components or the same.
Your reply is highly appreciated.
Thanks in  advance.

Usman

    Hi Jesper,

    I think if you use clean samples - ie person speaking close to the
    mic (but not clipped), you might be able to make it a bit better.

    Increasing the bit rate is a major job - but you could try other
    open source codecs like Opus.

    Hi David,

    So, these samples I picked up from drill sergeants on youtube,
    the ones I use in the end will be cleaner.
    Ideally I would like to get at least some amount of agitation in
    the voice to work, it does seem like a very plausible scenario if
    we're talking soldier communication potentially mid-combat.
    I'm going to experiment a bit to see if I can figure out a
    mastering chain that filters out what confuses the algorithm.

    Do you think it's possible to improve the results by increasing
    the bitrate? If so, how would you suggest I approach it? Is it
    sufficient to expand on the 3200 algorithm or would the
    assumptions you mentioned also need to be changed?

    Best regards
    Jesper

        Hi Jesper,

        Interesting samples!  It seems to do OK on what I would call
        "clean speech" - e.g. the female starting at 1:02, and male
        at 1:30, but struggles with the people shouting, or samples
        that were recorded from microphones far away from the speaker
        (room acoustics).  I had trouble understanding some of the
        source samples.

        I'm sorry but I don't think there is much we can do with
        pre-processing to improve the quality.  To get the very low
        bit rates we make certain assumptions about the input speech,
        e.g. the people speaking close to the microphone.

        Cheers,
        David

        Hi everyone!

        I'm working on a project where I want to add a digital radio
        feel to military voice lines. I found codec2 and really like
        the sound in the examples, but I'm having trouble
        reproducing the same audio quality. Some of it sounds good,
        but especially when the voice line gets more agitated it
        starts breaking apart. Appending an audio sample to show
        what I mean, this is a 8khz 16 bit mono sample with a codec2
        bitrate of 3200, which from what I understand should be the
        highest quality. The sample is first women then men, both
        with examples in descending intensity.

        I'm a bit new at this, is there any preprocessing/settings
        that I could apply in order to improve the quality?
