Solutions to untoast: command not found

How To Fix untoast: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu untoast is provided by libgsm-tools package.

libgsm-tools is:

This package contains user binaries for libgsm, an implementation of the European GSM 06.10 provisional standard for full-rate speech transcoding, prI-ETS 300 036, which uses RPE/LTP (residual pulse excitation/long term prediction) coding at 13 kbit/s.

GSM 06.10 compresses frames of 160 13-bit samples (8 kHz sampling rate, i.e. a frame rate of 50 Hz) into 260 bits; for compatibility with typical UNIX applications, this implementation turns frames of 160 16-bit linear samples into 33-byte frames (1650 Bytes/s). The quality of the algorithm is good enough for reliable speaker recognition; even music often survives transcoding in recognizable form (given the bandwidth limitations of 8 kHz sampling rate).

The interfaces offered are a front end modelled after compress(1), and a library API. Compression and decompression run faster than realtime on most SPARCstations. The implementation has been verified against the ETSI standard test patterns.

To fix this problem, we can install more using the command below.

sudo apt-get -y install libgsm-tools

This command might take some time to finish depending on your machine internet connection.

You can also use apt command to install libgsm-tools.

sudo apt -y install libgsm-tools

Or if you have aptitude installed you can use the following command.

sudo aptitude install libgsm-tools
