There's also Meta's EnCodec and Vocos at 1.5 kbps, Vocos is amazing: https://gemelo-ai.github.io/vocos/ https://gemelo-ai.github.io/vocos/ So if you format the floppy to 1970 Kilobyte (with the dos tool 2MF 3.0) you could fit around 3 hours on it. Enough to tell the listener about your life story, your most important values, your loves and life lessons and more wisdom for future generations. Long ago I encoded speech in acelp.net wma / realaudio4/5 at 6.5 kbps. That was good enough and better then mp3 speech compression, in these times with a relative abundance of bandwidth or diskspace it's not really necessary. With whisperspeech you could fit and read the bible from a floppy (compressed with for example the PPM text compression codec), 7 days of 12 hours of speech each GPT4 estimated - and you can read it too! State of the art LLM exegesis based on the latest historical-critical methods and theology takes a bit more memory though.
