Voice
over the Internet Sound Sample
Does Voice over the Internet "work"? Decide for yourself.
We recorded a conversation using the configuration shown below. This is a non-scientific test, but I think you will find the results impressive.
You can choose from three formats: the original .wav file that we recorded, a .mp3 version (for a smaller file), and a RealAudio version. In most cases, going to the lower bandwidth format does not show serious degradation, but you should realize that both the .mp3 and RealAudio versions represent compression beyond the compression that was used on the actual phone call.
