Partial list of software products

• Digital signal processing voice encoder/decoders, audio generators, detectors, and processing algorithms, which meet or exceed ITU specifications.
• vPort, an embedded system software and hardware reference design for voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) systems which incorporate a voice engine as a software DSP (softDSP) running on a traditional RISC CPU. The voice engine running on a system processor eliminates the need for an external, dedicated digital signal processing chip.
