[Speex-dev] Voice activity detection

[Evgueni Tsygankov]

Thanks for your reply. I changed my code to:

if (speex_preprocess_run(preprocess_state, shortPointer) == 1)
{
	speex_encode_int(enc_state, shortPointer, &enc_bits);
}

In the mobile version of the software, compiled against the mobile build of Speech, I get 1 and 0 based on whether the speech is detected. In the version of the software compiled against the Win32 version of Speex, speex_preprocess_run always returns 0. If I remove the IF statement, then I get voice transmission, so the mic is working. Is it something to do with VAD sensitivity?

Thanks,

Just use the return value of speex_preprocess_run()

Cheers,
