"Seemless calls", so my calls won't seem? Seem to be what? What would it mean for something to be seemful?

Edit: I know it's a typo, but I figured it's a door to somewhat interesting line of linguistic thought.

You could have "seemful" which might be somewhat synonymous with "inauthentic" and "seemless" which might be in with "genuine"?

I think that was a typo...

Unconstructive comment. Please don't demean their hard work with sarcasm. Small companies are hard enough to build as is.

I had been wondering when a product like this would come along. Being able to remove background noise from calls sounds pretty great, but it's not a problem I run into too often - most people on my calls are in a meeting room or a quiet place.

But, if it can really fill in missing or distorted chunks then for me that's a killer feature. I'm going to give it a try on my morning check-in call, which is coming up.

I'd love to see a product like this be able to adapt to the voices of individual speakers, and fill in gaps or distortion in their natural voices. I presume that would be more difficult, though, because you'd need a model of each speaker at the output device, so both parties would need to be running Krisp, and you'd somehow have to share the model between them - which if you already have network issues causing dropouts and distoration might not be feasible. Unless it was a side-channel thing, where for regular calls with the same people the voice model for is updated after each call, ready for the next one.

Though I'm not sure I love the idea of a model of my voice being constructed and transmitted around. But I think it would be really cool :)
