Who’s the main competitor to the new method? What’s the catch?
The solution we are talking about in these posts is DIFFERENT and gives added value to other products as it is not the so-called QoE (Quality of Experience) and does not rely on real-time user input, and it is neither based on MOS (Mean Opinion Score), nor operational parameters. The product in question IS different and covers a specific area, BEFORE any product is integrated and BEFORE one gets to the user experience and one can easily integrate it to a large system as a DLL library for instance. Or, if you have a system already operating you gain two big advantages: 1. generate a specch model to evaluate voice quality provided by your system and 2. test it on the fly by just simple audio files comparison.
It seems quite reasonable that the major competitor for the method is ITU P.862 – the so-called PESQ, but if you google it you will find out that there are just few World leaders that have this method implemented in their systems and… even fewer those who has actually done in-house as the majority would be using the same technology provider. (Just google it!)
Ok, what’s the catch? Price is one of them obviously and in order to get a better understanding on that please refer to this presentation (http://www.sevana.fi/Automatic_Sound_Signals_Quality_Estimation_Business_Benefits.pdf), but that’s not all. If one tries to compare PESQ and the method in question he would find out quite interesting differences and advantages in favor of the new method. But let’s leave it for the next post to digest the information better. See you reading our next post!
