G.723.1 is an audio codec for voice that compresses voice audio in 30 ms frames. An algorithmic look-ahead of 7.5 ms duration means that total algorithmic delay is 37.5 ms.[1] Its official name is Dual rate speech coder for multimedia communications transmitting at 5.3 and 6.3 kbit/s. It is sometimes associated with a Truespeech trademark in coprocessors produced by DSP Group.[2]

This is a completely different codec from G.723.

There are two bit rates at which G.723.1 can operate:

  • 6.3 kbit/s (using 24-byte frames) using a MPC-MLQ algorithm (MOS 3.9)
  • 5.3 kbit/s (using 20-byte frames) using an ACELP algorithm (MOS 3.62)

The CT8022 has built-in TrueSpeech 8.5 (compatible with Microsoft Sound System 2.0, and a standard part of Microsoft Windows 95), and TrueSpeech G.723.1 (for H.323 and H.324). [...] The CT8022 provides two additional non-ITU TrueSpeech data rates at 4.8 and 4.1 KBPS.
