Any article that thinks you can get a phone message down a 2K digital
slot should be taken with a very large pinch of salt.

Phone calls may be about 2KHz of analogue bandwidth but as a rule you
need between 56K and 64K (depending on the system used) to stuff one down
a digital channel.

.
You are SOOO very misinformed, as usual. LPC Vocoder speech compression is
WW2 technology.

I don't expect you to understand it, but here's the math of compressing 4
KHz speech onto a 2400 bps comm channel.
http://www.data-compression.com/speech.shtml#2400bps

The gimmick is that the mouth can't change shape very fast, so if you sample
the sounds it makes 20 times a second the reconstructed speech will be very
intelligible if somewhat robotic.
