Voice enable your iOS application

The VoIP for Apple iOS sample program demonstrates the use of Adaptive Digital's VoIP Engine software in a mobile handset environment.

In particular, the VoIP for Apple iOS program turns an iPhone (or iPod or iPad) into a limited capability IP phone. The limitation is that the program communicates via RTP using user specified IP address/port number. It does not yet implement the SIP protocol.

Adaptive Digital's VoIP Engine software is a software engine that handles all the voice processing from PCM to Packet and back. Its intended use is in VoIP enabled handsets or desktop phones.

VoIP Engine has no direct connection to the audio (PCM) source/driver or to the network stack. It simply processes PCM to RTP and RTP to PCM. The VoIP for Apple iOS sample program provides the interfaces to the iOS Audio Driver and to network stack via using UDP/IP. VoIP for Apple interconnects these two interfaces with VoIP Engine, which does the underlying PCM to RTP and RTP to PCM processing.

Adaptive Digital's iPVoice VoIP Engine for iPhone is a software package that handles all the processing needed to transform PCM samples to VoIP packets and VoIP packets to PCM samples. In other words, it provides all the voice processing necessary to VoIP-enable an iPhone application.

iPVoice VoIP engine includes a complete suite of Adaptive Digital's CPU and memory efficient fixed-point telephony, VoIP, and voice quality enhancement (VQE) algorithms that enable developers to create toll-quality next generation mobile device applications for iPhone users. iPVoice VoIP engine includes acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), AGC, G.711 with DTX, RTP, tone generation, and network optimization algorithms including packet loss concealment (PLC), and adaptive jitter buffer (AJB). Additionally features can be added such as noise reduction, SIP and a wide variety of compression algorithms including both narrowband and wideband codecs. With the wide variety of Adaptive Digital's fielded voice software at their fingertips, developers can now deliver the highest level of quality voice enabled applications.

Adaptive Digital provides for easy implementation and flexibility through the VoIP Engine API functions. iPVoice VoIP Engine brings the same type of ease to a iPhone VoIP developer as is brought by the existing iPhone frameworks that handle other functionality. All the developer needs to do is include the iPVoice library into his or her project and make use of the VoIP Engine API functions. The API functions configure the VoIP Engine as well as handle PCM to Packet and Packet to PCM processing. The processing APIs are designed to interface with the audio I/O and IP stack, which further enhances the developers' flexibility.

iPVoice Engine includes the following features:

Speech Compression
Acoustic Echo Cancellation
Voice Quality Enhancement -
Full Duplex Hands Free support
Tone Handling
RTP/ Jitter Buffer
Speaker Volume Control
Test and diagnostic software to assist in acoustical tuning
Conferencing
SRTP

The VoIP engine is purely a data processing engine. It has no interface to drivers or peripherals and performs processing solely at the request of the host application. The host application feeds the VoIP engine PCM samples from the audio input and and RTP packets from the network input. The VoIP engine in turn returns, via callbacks to the host application, PCM samples to be sent to the audio output device and RTP packets to be sent to the network interface.
