Abstract
A technique for estimating and enhancing audio quality in a real-time communication session between parties over a computer network produces real-time measurements of factors that are known to impact audio quality, assigns a separate MOS value to each of the measured factors, and combines the MOS values for the various factors to produce an overall measure of audio quality. At least one party to the real-time communication session operates a computing device that runs a software program, and the technique further includes directing the software program to render an indication of the overall audio quality, thereby enabling the party operating the computing device to take remedial action to improve the audio quality.
