Default Lets try this again:Vox Squelch softwa

I am looking for software the detects and ONLY
triggers on human voice. On AM/SSB comms, a level
squelch is nearly useless.
One implementation, in hardware, can be seen at:

This is a very usefull device, but I am looking
for a way to do it in software.

Subject: Voice detection software?

Lou,

Voice squelches for HF are typically "syllabic squelches". They do not
react on noise but on the pattern of the signal. Simple hardware based
ones
try to detect the presence of voice (low frequency syllabic variations
associated with voice). Although not perfect, these types of squelch
circuits are fairly common on commercial and military HF equipment.

Noise based squelches are practically unusable on HF as they are
triggered
by any random noise... and as we all know, HF-AM/SSB sure isn't FM ;-)

However, I agree that it would be an interesting project if someone
created
a software-based syllabic squelch application that can be used with any
radio... any takers? ;-)

Bruno,

So I hope I am making my request clear,
I am looking for software that unlike the
normal VOX is a VOX that only responds to
human voice. My hardwr unit does a great (99%)
job of ingoring non-voice singals. FSK, and some
music, symphonies, fool it.
