Why does Compandents EVRC-WB sound better than the standard reference?

We have extensively tested our EVRC-WB suite (a.k.a EVRC-WB++ or EVRC-WB-Plus-Plus) in many different environments and with a variety of speech data. We can show you examples where the standard reference produces hoarse speech or annoying clicks while Compandent’s EVRC-WB (EVRC-WB++) produces much better sounding and cleaner speech. We thoroughly investigated any sign of a problem or bug and didn’t give up until we resolved it in the best possible way, in order to make sure that our customers get the best sounding implementation! In fact, even combining Compandent’s EVRC-WB++ in a system that already uses EVRC-B or EVRC-WB on the other end is likely to improve quality on both ends! (compared to EVRC-B or EVRC-WB standard reference on both ends) 3.2 Q: How can I listen to Compandent’s real-time EVRC-WB vocoder? A: Our package includes a main C program that runs the EVRC-WB in real-time. You may run it, listen t
