IVOX-the interactive VOice eXchange application
Robert B. A. Adamson, Joseph P. Macker · 2002
The article describes the design and development of the Interactive VOice eXchange (IVOX) computer software application. IVOX provides real-time interactive voice communication over computer data networks. IVOX uses advanced voice compression techniques to maintain very low data rates. The low data rate feature of IVOX allows useful voice communication over existing computer network connections without a significant impact on other communications (e.g., email, file transfer). IVOX provides a simple graphical user interface for call setup and management. IVOX allows for cross computer platform interoperability with versions for Sun SPARCStation, Silicon Graphics, and Hewlett Packard workstations.
