Are you aware that the same exact uncompressed recording sounds different depending on context? This is known as the McGurk effect. Very worth your two minutes

Very worth your two minutes if you're not yet familiar with the effect: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k8fHR9jKVM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k8fHR9jKVM
- taneq 6y agoWhile fascinating, that’s not the same as a codec failing silently by literally changing one word into another, equally clear word instead of getting fuzzy or unintelligible.
- ehsankia 6y agoAt the end of the day, it all comes to using the right tool for the job, and this is just another codec in your toolbox. This is no different than using, for example, a probabilistic algorithm to solve some NP-hard problem in your real world software. As long as you understand the limitations, I don't see an issue with using an algorithm that has a small non-significant (for your use-case) rate of failure. I would definitely not use this to communicate with the space station, but in the right context (Google Duo, low bandwidth), it's the perfect tool.
