Unlike other codecs like MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, Speex is specially designed for compressing voice at low bit-rates for applications such as voice over IP (VoIP). In some sense, it is meant to be complementary to the Ogg Vorbis codec.
Speex is an Open Source/Free Software patent-free audio compression format designed for speech. The Speex Project aims to lower the barrier of entry for voice applications by providing a free alternative to expensive proprietary speech codecs. Moreover, Speex is well-adapted to Internet applications and provides useful features that are not present in most other codecs. Finally, Speex is part of the GNU Project and is available under the Xiph.org variant of the BSD license.
