Hello PicListers,

I'm looking for a low bandwidth voice codec solution that's easy to interface to a microcontroller.  It's going to be for a small commercial run, and I'm having trouble finding a reasonable solution.

A single chip would be best, but I'm open to using a DSP as well.  I've been talking to some people about licensing a DSP algorithm, but the ~25,000 US fee is a bit much.

We'd like to keep our bandwidth around 8k, with toll quality (MOS ~3.8) voice.

There's one chip that I really like, the VoicePump from the DSP Group, but they don't sell small quantities. :(

Thanks,
Alex
