Description

The Adaptive Digital Technologies Enhanced Variable Rate Coder (EVRC) is a real-time implementation of the 3GPP2 standardized vocoder. The vocoder, originally developed for cellular telephony, also has other applications in VoIP.

EVRC compresses each 20 msec of 8000 Hz, 16-bit sampled speech input into output frames of one of three different sizes: full rate – 171 bits (8.55 kbit/s), half rate – 80 bits (4.0 kbit/s), eighth rate – 16 bits (0.8 kbit/s). A quarter rate was not originally included in the EVRC specification and eventually became part of EVRC-B.
