Windows Media Voice (WMA VCE) is a low bit-rate codec designed by Microsoft to compress speech signals. The codec uses Codebook-Excited Linear Prediction (CELP), wherein the method of linear prediction in conjunction with analysis-by-synthesis technique is used coding. Optionally, the codec also supports music signal where it uses the low bit-rate WMA Standard. WMA VCE supports four sampling rates 8 khz, 11.025khz, 16khz and 22.05 khz and bit rates ranging from 4kbps to 20kbps and can accept only mono streams. WMA VCE content is packed using the ASF container format. Windows Media Voice is used in streaming compressed voice over the Internet for radio and is also used in voice recorders and in low bit-rate streaming applications.
