Noise cancellation software improves the audio in video and audio conference calls by real-time removal of unwanted background noise. This software pairs with virtual communication solutions, such as video conferencing or VoIP software, to suppress background noise. This includes keyboard typing sounds, vehicle traffic, barking dogs, crying babies, and other unwanted ambient noises.
In addition to minimizing ambient noise, these products typically provide additional features such as echo removal, background speech removal, and HD voice maintenance, all of which work together to create a high-quality audio experience for the user. Noise cancellation software is helpful to anyone working from home with children, pets, or noisy neighbors, as well as those in a call center or loud office environment.
While noise cancellation software can be used with video conferencing software and audio conferencing software, it can also be helpful for live streaming and audio recordings (such as podcasts).
To qualify for inclusion in the Noise Cancellation category, a product must:
Remove background noise from incoming or outgoing audio during calls, audio recordings, or streams
Remove background noise in real time with technology powered by artificial intelligence (AI)
Integrate with video and audio conferencing software, audio recording software, or streaming tools
Support a variety of hardware, including headsets, microphones, and speakers
