ABSTRACT:
Audio degradation is minimized in scenarios where tandem coding occurs. One such scenario is in the environment of voice mail service. Characteristics of an audio information signal are determined, and the signal is classified as to whether further coding should be performed and, if so, which rate/type of coding should be performed. Characteristics of the audio signal which are determined are, inter alia, quality characteristics, rate of previous coding, type of previous coding and the source of previous coding of the audio information signal. The source of previous coding determined may further include, inter alia, an analog network, a digital network, a PSTN or a wireless communication system. Based on this information, the voice mail service will either choose not to further code the audio information signal or code the audio information signal with the best coding algorithm available.
