Whether you spend most of your day on the phone or just take a few calls per week, background noise is undoubtedly a pain point for many. With people working from home, distributed across coworking spaces or even back in the office, this becomes an undeniable – but mostly unavoidable – distraction.

That’s the problem that the founders of Krisp set out to solve. The result is an AI-powered app that removes background noise and echoes from your mic during conference calls. We all know that online meetings can be tedious and, at times, unproductive. Krisp makes it easy to have focused, efficient online meetings by eliminating background noise for you.

Innovative tech cuts out background noise

Whether you’re on a call with three clients or 30 colleagues, just one person’s distracting echo or background noise can derail a meeting. Instead of wasting time reminding people to mute themselves – or even worse, repeat themselves – just enlist Krisp to take care of things. This innovative technology is powered by AI and eliminates extra sounds so only the human voice can be heard, thanks to HD voice support.

Even if you’re in the office, today’s popular open workspace designs mean you may very well be within close proximity for your neighbor’s conversation to make a cameo in your video conference. With Krisp, everyone can continue on with business as usual, whereas the person on the call doesn’t have to worry about barks, coos or other exchanges being heard on the other side of the line. It works with any type of speaker, headphone or microphone, wired or wireless.

Compatible with popular platforms

If you’ve ever worn a pair of noise-canceling headphones, you know how peaceful and focus-inducing the quiet can be. The same goes for a meeting in which you can’t hear anyone’s dog, child, roommate or partner hanging out nearby. Krisp’s noise removal technology is compatible with 800-plus conferencing apps, including popular platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and more – on both macOS and Windows. This means you can still use Krisp even if you move to a new company that uses a different conference solution than your current one.

Privacy and security are top priorities

Another thing to consider is app security. With companies embracing new hybrid models for full and part-time remote work, one worry is whether digital solutions will respect their users' privacy. Krisp operates locally, meaning all audio processing is done entirely on your device. This ensures that your audio processing data and that of your colleagues aren’t shared.

Customer success says it all

With so much of the workforce plagued with the same problem, the number of Krisp users has drastically increased over the past year. Being productive from home is already challenging; noisy distractions only add to the problem.

Hybrid and remote work models are here to stay, so get on board with this innovative solution for conference calls now. Check out Krisp today to demo the tech that Forbes, Gartner and Time hail as one of the best tech innovations in recent history.
