Feature Overview
Voice Quality Measurement
•
PESQ, perceptual evaluation of speech quality according to ITU-T rec. P.862 [2001]. Combines
PSQM with PAMS, optimized for VoIP and hybrid end-to-end applications
•
PSQM, perceptual speech quality measure according to ITU-T rec. P.861 [1996]
•
PSQM+, advanced perceptual speech quality measure according to ITU-T COM 12-20 [1998]
•
PSQM/IP, perceptual speech quality measure according to ITU-T rec. P.861 [1996], incl.
advanced delay compensation for end-to-end measurements, developed by OPTICOM
•
Echo measurement based on real speech, Echo Return Loss ERLmom, ERLpeak, ERL vs. delay
•
One way delay measurement, with PESQ also delay jitter vs.time
