Earlier quoted context omitted.

There's an app for Android called SoundAbout, which can reroute audio. Not sure how it works, but maybe something similar is possible for Krisp? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink....

This looks intriguing. Do you know if it receives the audio and re-routes or simply changes the routing configuration?

It simply changes the audio configuration. There's no way to intercept and modify audio data on Android, unless you're rooted. :(

As an amateur radio operator, I struggle very often with noise-related issues. Nice tech. I'm used to see digital processing applying in this field, but never thought about applying machine learning. Feeling curious about learning about the technology some day, because, for me, based on the solutions I currently know, this seems, indeed, magic.

my recent blog post had some details about the tech behind krisp: https://devblogs.nvidia.com/nvidia-real-time-noise-suppressi...

Thank you very much!

Further, this is probably their goal. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Apple bought something like this as system-wide background noise canceling would be a fantastic OS feature.

iPhones already have this feature if you hold your phone up to your ear. There is a microphone in the back of the phone near the camera that phase cancels out background noise from the input from the front mic.

They need this for the AirPods then. Everyone I call while outside in NYC says the microphone is super sensitive and picks up all the surrounding noise.

Here'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.

How about Linux? Shouldn't be that much more of a lift.

I've read the front page and FAQ section but I'm still not 100% clear what this product is. Is it an active noise cancelling app that listens to your environment around the laptop and cancels noise out (like Bose QC25/35 headphones)? Serious comment - I think you need to explain this better on your site.

How do they make money? All audio is processed on device, but is the goal to use the public training/learning to tailor a more robust model which they can sell commercially/integrate into apps/phones/etc?

Folks, one of the devs — artavazdm — has commented below and has stated:

"It's only free during beta. Although we haven't decided on the exact monetization strategy yet."

That's really cool! I knew that it did sound canceling but I thought it was all software!
