#22A dream product for new parents working from home :)

#23Here's to hoping they make a version for Windows and/or Linux. Mac support is nice, but this seems business-focused (though handy for casual use). Most businesses, especially outside of Silicon Valley, don't use Mac; Windows will likely be a larger market.
2Hz CEO here (we built Krisp). Windows support will come in Dec. We are working hard on it.
Oh cool thanks for the roadmap, but do you have a way to inform us on what kind of monetization path you're going for?
where is the catch?

#24Great idea,great product, great TEAM.
Re: Krisp.ai – Mute background noise during your calls
#25I 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 l…

Since I moved to NYC, I think I haven't had one phone call without some obnoxiously loud siren/horn/baby/dog/jack hammer/piano/bros in the background. People must think I listen to the NYC soundtrack on repeat at full volume and make phone calls.
I envy you. :)

It's currently free as it's in Public Beta.
Krisp will have a freemium business model after Beta.

How about a VST plugin? that would give you cross-platform support (Mac/Windows/Linux/iOS) and would allow it to be used as a part of many, many audio processing pipelines - from simple streamers/youtubers all the way to pros

#28Is it possible to use something like this to turn any headphone into noise canceling headphone?
Not really. The tech used in noise-cancelling headphones is called ANC (active noise cancellation). It eliminates the noise coming to your ear from your surrounding environment.
In contrast, Krisp eliminates the noise going from your environment to the call participants and vice versa.

Make sure you check back in with the results!
As requested:
This call typically has decent audio quality, and as it's a stand-up / status call people tend to speak one at a time. No-one today had much in the way of background noise, so I'm not sure there was a lot of opportunity for the app to show off.
That said, I switched the Krisp speaker mode on and off repeatedly while each person who was talking.
1. When just one person was talking Krisp didn't seem to ever make the sound worse, which I guess is a start.
2. When there was a conversation going back and forth, or when one person started talking right after someone else finished, the voices got mangled or muted and I couldn't understand them. I had to turn Krisp off.
3. When there was some background echo (like in a large room) or some minor distortion I thought it maybe sounded a bit clearer with Krisp running, but it didn't really make much difference. I could understand the speaker either way.
With the audio problems I mentioned at (2) and no real gain from using Krisp I doubt I would use it regularly, though if I run into a call with bad background noise I might try it again.
I also tried the Krisp microphone, and at one point I had to repeat myself, which doesn't usually happen. But I have no way of knowing whether that was due to me speaking unclearly, or audio issues at the listeners end, or something else. So I don't really have an opinion about the microphone, but as I am in a quiet place anyway I wouldn't probably use it.
It would be nice if there was a single channel evaluation mode for the speaker. If I could hear in my right ear the normal audio was, and in the left what the Krisp-processed sound, then I would have a better chance of evaluating the performance. I guess if you have a lot of continuous background noise that mode would be redundant, and it should be an obvious improvement switching back and forth.

#30How much latency does it add?
Around 15ms to the end to end call.
