![]() ![]() But this, because it’s automatic, and there’s no indication, that could be problematic. I can also unmute them, they can mute themselves, and so on, depending on the type of call. VentureBeat: Right now, if I’m on a group call and someone accidentally has background noise, I can mute them. VentureBeat: Those noise types that you want to keep, those are still up in the air?Īichner: We have looked at certain noise types and basically said that for certain noise types we are not optimizing for those now to remove them. So we are trying to see what are the cases where something would be considered as a desired signal you want to transmit. Do you want to filter out music or do you not want to filter out music? Because there are cases where you could say, ‘Hey, I want to show you how I play the violin.’ And then we are filtering out the violin. I think one example, which you can probably think of, is music. VentureBeat: Did I understand correctly that there are certain noises that you have deemed to be OK that aren’t speech, and they’re in your machine learning model?Īichner: We looked at whether certain noises really are something which we want to filter out. We have thought about that, we just haven’t made the decision on that yet. We are careful that certain things where we feel ‘OK, that might not actually be perceived as noise,’ then maybe we shouldn’t filter it out. The noise types we have … For example, typing noise, it’s not likely that you want to transmit typing noise. And as I said, we haven’t really made a final decision on that yet. I’m sure we can think of better examples, but what happens when noise suppression gets in the way and it isn’t working as expected? You’re telling me you can’t turn the feature off, but you’re also telling me that the person that should be hearing the noise will not even know that noise suppression is modifying the call.Īichner: That’s good feedback. Or, say an audio company wants to demo something to a client. Say I call my dog over and tell him or her to speak, and then the recipient doesn’t hear it because of the noise suppression. VentureBeat: There’s that, and there’s also wanting to demo something to someone. I assume you’re going down that road of ‘Hey, if you have this cool capability, why not indicate to the user that there’s a lot of noise but you can’t hear it?'” VentureBeat: Will there be any sort of indicator to the sender that there’s extra noise that is being filtered out or to the recipient that something is being filtered out? Any sort of visual indication that noise suppression is activated or anything like that?Īichner: I think that’s some detail we haven’t really decided on, so I guess I can’t really comment on whether we would indicate that to the user. If I have this new client, then whoever I call will not get noise from me. It works on the person who has the client. VentureBeat: So it’s going to be on by default for recipients?Īichner: It works on the send side. So for now, I think the plan would be to just have that on and improve that experience. ![]() And since we also believe that this will work better than the current noise suppression, in all cases, we also don’t see a reason or a need for turning that off. So it’s hard to really implement the toggle on my side. The benefit is for you, because you will not hear that person. If I turn it on, I still hear that person. Let’s say I have somebody in the background making a lot of noise. I think the challenge in terms of user experience is, let’s say I had a switch where I can toggle it on or off. Aichner: Right now, we believe that, probably, it’s not a good experience for the user to be able, or that the user needs to turn it on. ![]()
