Abstract :
The different approaches to the standardization of speech coding technology applications are reviewed. The activities of the International Telephone and Telegraph Consultative Committee (CCITT) are highlighted, although other standards setting bodies often follow a similar process. Standardization of speech coding involves the interaction of various experts, who define performance requirements, design speech coding algorithms to meet these requirements, design test plans to evaluate compliance to the requirements, evaluate implementation aspects, select algorithm implementation formats, and develop verification procedures to guarantee compliance to the speech coding specification.<>
