  2. Augmentative and alternative communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmentative_and...

    The poet and author Christy Brown describes his communication breakthrough at 5 years in the book My Left Foot. An evaluation of an individual's abilities, limitations and communication needs is necessary to select appropriate AAC techniques. The purpose of the assessment is to identify potential AAC approaches that can bridge discrepancies between a potential user's current communication and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch_Access_Scanning

    Switch access scanning is an indirect selection technique (or access method), used with switch access by an assistive technology user, including those who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), to choose items from the selection set. [1][2] Unlike direct selection (e.g., typing on a keyboard, touching a screen), a scanner can ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_access

    Open access. Open access logo, originally designed by Public Library of Science. A PhD Comics introduction to open access. Open access (OA) is a set of principles and a range of practices through which nominally copyrightable publications are delivered to readers free of access charges or other barriers. [1]

  5. Advanced Audio Coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Audio_Coding

    Advanced Audio Coding is designed to be the successor of the MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3, known as MP3 format, which was specified by ISO / IEC in 11172-3 (MPEG-1 Audio) and 13818-3 (MPEG-2 Audio). Blind tests in the late 1990s showed that AAC demonstrated greater sound quality and transparency than MP3 for files coded at the same bit rate.

  6. Comparison of audio coding formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_coding...

    The 'Music' category is merely a guideline on commercialized uses of a particular format, not a technical assessment of its capabilities. For example, MP3 and AAC dominate the personal audio market in terms of market share, though many other formats are comparably well suited to fill this role from a purely technical standpoint.

  7. Fraunhofer FDK AAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraunhofer_FDK_AAC

    Fraunhofer FDK AAC is an open-source [5] library for encoding and decoding digital audio in the Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) format. Fraunhofer IIS developed this library for Android 4.1. [6][7] It supports several Audio Object Types including MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 AAC LC, HE-AAC (AAC LC + SBR), HE-AACv2 (LC + SBR + PS) as well AAC-LD (low delay ...

  8. Unified Speech and Audio Coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Speech_and_Audio...

    Unified Speech and Audio Coding. Unified Speech and Audio Coding (USAC) is an audio compression format and codec for both music and speech or any mix of speech and audio using very low bit rates between 12 and 64 kbit/s. [1] It was developed by Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) and was published as an international standard ISO / IEC 23003-3 ...

    Evolution from MPEG-2 AAC-LC (Low Complexity) Profile and MPEG-4 AAC-LC Object Type to HE-AAC v2 Profile. [2] High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding (HE-AAC) is an audio coding format for lossy data compression of digital audio defined as an MPEG-4 Audio profile in ISO / IEC 14496–3. It is an extension of Low Complexity AAC (AAC-LC) optimized ...
