Abstract
Non-voice data is embedded in a voice bit stream that includes frames of voice bits by selecting a frame of voice bits to carry the non-voice data, placing non-voice identifier bits in a first portion of the voice bits in the selected frame, and placing the non-voice data in a second portion of the voice bits in the selected frame. The non-voice identifier bits are employed to reduce a perceived effect of the non-voice data on audible speech produced from the voice bit stream.
